The native of Denver, N.C., played 15-of-27 rounds at par or better this year (55.6 percent) and posted eight sub-70 rounds.ย

Joy was named to the All-CUSA first-team squad and was twice named CUSA Men's Golfer of the Week. He was also named to the CUSA Men's Golf All-Academic Team, the CUSA Commissioner's Honor Roll and the CUSA Commissioner's Academic Medal listing.
ย ย ย ย ย
Joy is currently ranked No. 189 in the latest Scoreboard powered by Clippd national individual rankings.
