Head Coach Kevin Fillman: “For the second-straight year, John came into the fall season after having an amazing summer. He gives himself a lot of chances because he hits so many fairways and greens. From there, he’s had times where he’s gotten the ball in the hole well and posted a low number, and there’s been times when he’s struggled to a score he shouldn’t have gotten to. More consistency with his short game and putter are the keys to John closing his career with a great spring.”
