"We are excited to have him in the lineup this year and he was everybody's favorite teammate last year. Getting his talent in the lineup is huge for our men's program. He is not a cookie-cutter golfer, the best way to explain his game is that it comes from a lot of heart and determination. It's a homemade game and I love it! It's got a lot of power and a lot of heart to it. He is really going to step up for us in leadership and in performance this year."
