Last season, Utah won two tournaments, the Countrywide Intercollegiate on Oct. 21-22 and the USD Invitational on March 17-18. The Utes also had two individual winners as Casey Fowles finished first at the Countrywide Intercollegiate and Garrett Clegg won the Highlander Classic.
UTE NOTES:
The Falcon Invitational will be the first tournament of the season for the Utah golf team. Last year at the Falcon Invitational, Utah finished in fifth place with a total score of 26-over-par (890). Utah had the lead after the first day, fell to third after the second day and finished with a final round of 311 to put them in fifth. Leading the way for Utah was Garrett Clegg who finished in seventh place with a three-over-par (219).
QUOTING HEAD COACH Wayne Fisher:
"This is the first tournament of the year and the team is excited to compete again. We have always been very competitive at the Falcon Invitational and go into the season with a lot of confidence after how we played last year."
