Most recently, Bangor was recognized for the fourth straight year on the PING Mid-Atlantic Region team and for the second time as a Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar. The senior ended the regular season with an average score of 75.2 through 18 rounds with one tournament win, three top-three finishes and seven top-ten finishes. He had a season-low round of 70 at the Carnegie Mellon Fall Invitational and was a second-team All-University Athletic Association (UAA) honoree after placing ninth at the Association Championships. For the fourth straight season, Bangor led the Tartans in scoring average.
As a junior, Bangor competed at the 2013 NCAA Championships and
was named to the PING All-America third team.
For his career, Bangor is a two-time All-UAA member and ranks first
on the school's all-time charts with 10 tournament wins and 18
