With two true freshmen, one sophomore, one junior and only one senior in the lineup, the Aggies are one of the youngest teams in the regional field. Joining senior Ty Cox in the lineup are freshmen Matt Lindholm and Dwayne Morley, sophomore Sean Gilliland and junior Casey Cronin. Cox is the Aggies only player with NCAA regional experience, tying for 15th in 1996, tying for 22nd in 1997 and tying for 103rd in 1998. Lindholm leads the Aggies in scoring with a 74.33 average, and could become the first freshman in school history to post the team's top scoring average. Four players have posted at least one top 10 finish this season and all have at least one round of 69 or better.
Regional competition is always tough.
To make it through to the NCAA Championships, we will have to play our best golf . We have a young team but they are all excellent players. They understand what they have to do for us to advance. It's just a matter of going out and performing like we are capable.
