WILMINGTON, North
Carolina - The Seahawks return to the west coast for the Band Dunes
Championship hosted by Gonzaga this weekend, beginning on Mar. 8. UNCW is looking
to wash away the bad taste of an eighth-place finish at the Del Walker in late
February in Long Beach, Calif.
At the Del Walker, junior
Payne McLeod led the Seahawks with a 24th-place finish while Thomas Bass and
Dylan Harris tied for 35th overall. For Harris, it was his season debut. Stefan
Brewer and Ryan Nagy finished 38th and 43rd, respectively.
Jumping into the Seahawk
lineup this tournament is junior Josh Woodfox, who tied for 33rd at the Del
Walker, playing as an individual. Washington boasts a pair of top-10 players
in Cheng-Tsung Pan (third) and Trevor Simsby (eighth) and UCLA's Pontus Widegren
is 11th nationally.
The field is a strong as
Washington and UCLA are ranked fourth and sixth, respectively, by Golfweek,
while Oregon checks in at 49.
"This is another strong
tournament and one that we're looking forward to competing in," said UNCW
Head Coach Matt Clark. "Things didn't go well in the opener and we want
to put that behind us. We've done a good job in the past in learning from mistakes
and progressing."
