COACH'S THOUGHTS: "Carl and Henry have earned their spot at regionals as an individual through their fine play over the course of this season," said UW Head Coach Alan Murray. "Both have had some really great finishes at tournaments which stands them in good stead for this week."
"It is extremely difficult for an individual to qualify for NCAA finals and it will require them to win the tournament or finish in the top 3 at least based on previous experiences," said Murray. "Both are capable of doing so if they play really well. That has to be their focus this week: managing their games well and being able to score. We don't have any experience of this golf course so it will be important to get a good feel for it during the practice round and take it one shot at a time during the tournament week."
"I am really looking forward to seeing them compete and test themselves against some of the best players in college golf!"
