Brendan Thomas
“The guys finished the regular season strong with another under par tournament on a very good golf course,” said Coach Zach Smith. “Brendan and Tomas have been playing very well lately, it was fun to watch them play together on the final day to see who could get the win. Brendan snuck away with the win, continuing his solid play this spring. It felt good to win the Region IX title after a lot of hard work throughout the year. I’m lucky to be around these guys.”
