Last season, graduate senior Max Sturdza became the second individual in program history to earn an at-large regional bid.  “I am happy with how the schedule turned out,” noted Mörk. “It’s not an easy schedule and it will be a good challenge for the team. I’m also looking forward to hosting an event at PGA National on the Champions Course, home of the Cognizant Classic on the PGA Tour.”The Owls 2024-25 roster includes six returners led by seniors Kaleb Palm, Jake Hibbert, and Guilherme Grinberg. Sophomores Andres Atrio and NaShawn Tyson will be expected to take on larger roles, as will Jack Brugman, who transferred in at semester last season.The newcomer class is stocked with freshmen Christian Veilleux (Jupiter, Fla.), Ian Söderholm (Stockholm, Sweden), Biagio Gagliardi (Rome, Italy), and sophomore Ylan Guerin Pozzalo (Bourg St. Maurice, France).”We lost several key pieces from last year, but I believe we still have a good mix of experienced players who should step up,” Mörk said. “We also have some young guys who will be eager to prove themselves. I can’t wait to start the semester and see what our tournament lineup will look like. Go Owls!” |
