November 16, 2018 | Men's Golf
SEATTLE – University of Washington head coach Alan Murray has signed two to the class of 2019 on Friday adding Bo Peng and Petr Hruby to the Husky Family.
"Both Bo and Petr will have an instant impact and make us a better team," said Murray. "I know they will push and be pushed by our returners immediately. We are starting to turn a corner and I believe our future will be bright with the addition of Bo and Petr."
Hruby, from the Czech Republic, comes to Washington after spending time at Bishop Gates Golf Academy in Florida. He claimed the individual crown at the 2017 Publix Junior Golf Classic in dramatic fashion, taking the victory in a sudden-death playoff. He also finished second at the Czech International Boys and Juniors Championship in July of 2018 while posting a 13th-place finish at the Slovakian Men's Amateur Championship in June of 2018.
"Petr is a really bubbly, feisty kid and I love his competitive energy," added Murray. "He really embraces team golf, has represented his country on numerous occasions and has done so with huge passion. He is an ideal fit for us. Not only is he an extremely talented player but he is exactly what we need. He's very determined on the course and skillful and we believe he will have a bright future here at UW."
Peng joins the UW program from Lake Mary, Florida but is originally from Nanjing, China. He most recently finished tied for 6th at the Bill Horschel Junior Championship in October and third at the Jim Bell Memorial Junior in August. He has had a handful of top finishes on the AGJA circuit taking third at the Future Collegians World Tour in 2017. He was runner-up at the 2016 Cameron McCormick Junior All-Star event and added four more top 10 finishes in 2016.
"Bo is a very talented player that possesses great length off the tee as well as being very accurate which is a big advantage," said Murray. "He is also an excellent iron player that has improved steadily over the last few years which I am sure will continue. I love his attitude and work ethic. He's a stoic guy and just a very tough competitor. He loves to play the game and will be a great teammate. I'm really excited that he's joining our program and I know he will make us better."
The Huskies just wrapped up a fall campaign that saw them face some very tough competition, consistently going up against the nation's best on some of the best courses in the country. The Dawgs also won the Husky Invitational and will get back on the course Jan. 28-29 at the Arizona Intercollegiate.
