Bill Spannuth played golf for Morehead State from 1969-72. He is arguably the most successful golfer in collegiate tournaments in the history of Eagle golf. He is a two-time Ohio Valley Conference Golfer of the Year.

Spannuth lettered all four years for MSU and made three appearances in the NCAA Golf Championships. He finished 12th at the 1970 NCAA Tournament. He shot a round of 67 in the 1971 NCAA Tournament which was good enough to tie Texas’ Ben Crenshaw for the first round lead.

Spannuth was the OVC individual champion in the 1970 championship and finished third in the 1972 event. He set the Morehead State record with a nine-under-par 61 and won three consecutive MSU Invitational Championships while a student at the University.
