Mary Witherall, John Witherall's mother, drove up from San Diego to watch her son compete at Stanford - only to witness the team's losing trend continue to it's last tournament. I'm not sure how he'll finish. Witherall had the best finish for the SJSU team, placing 32nd with nine over par, while his teammate Jim Beste finished in the 41st spot and Lucas Horrobin placed 71st. Junior Nate Whitson placed 86th with 24 over par, and Steve Bent placed in the 89th spot. John Dormann, who coached the men's team for the first time this year said it was frustrating for the players to end the year the way they did.
Golf is such a hard game.
Then you have to come back and look your teammates in the eye and try to explain why you played so bad - there's a lot of pressure in that respect. Despite the pressure of the game, the team remained close and stuck together. We never really got to put four good scores together in a tournament - but I enjoyed the company of all the guys on the team. It's been a lot of fun. The highest-placing tournament for the men was in Oregon, where junior Lucas Horrobin tied for first place.
