UTE NOTES:
The Cougar Classic is the last tournament on the regular season schedule for the team. The MWC Championships will be held in Sunriver, Ore., from April 29-May 1.
The Utes are currently ranked 91st according to the GolfWeek rankings. Utah has had three second-place finishes over the season, all of which were during the fall part of the season. The Utes sixth-place finish at the Cowboy Classic equals their best finish of the spring. Individually Garrett Clegg is ranked 176th in the nation in the GolfWeek standings.
QUOTING HEAD COACH Wayne Fisher:
"The team is excited to compete in a tournament that is close to home. The Cougar Classic is the closest thing that we have to a home meet; we know the course well and are always competitive there. Hopefully the team can use this tournament to build momentum going into the conference championships."
