"So far. Lonnie's win in Arizona w as the highlight of the year. We've had a lot of good individual performances, but we have had wine average play this season. We've got to find a way to get four or five guys in the top 15; that's how you win a college golf tournament." explained Brockbank. One of the areas that most concerns Brockbank is the No. 4 and 5 players. "Our depth has struggled a little bit at the fourth and fifth spots," said Bavkbank.

CI) - Brockbank said having Woods in Provo is a opportunity for local fans to w atch a future tour star. "He ought to be a big hit at our tournament." said Bnvkbank. "As far as I'm conevrned. Tiger is one of the fi nest amateur play ers to ever play the game of golf. He's very talented, as evidenced by his two straight wias at the U.S. Amateur. He's the first to ever w in the U.S. National Junior title tlwx years in a row." If you add in his three National Junior titles. Woods has become the first U.S. golfer since Bobby Jones to w in a USG A Amateur or National Junior event five years running. In his freshman year ( 1994-95- ) Woods competed in 13 tournaments, winning twice and finishing second three other times. So far this season, he has pocketed another three titles. "He Woods is avognied around tlx1 world as (toe of the finest, if not uV hcM, amateur players ever. And he manages to carry that kvid very well." added Biwkhank. "It's not only his athk'uc ability, but he's an excelkrnl student. He's live full package and very polished for his age." Tru re are many in golf circles who think Woods is missing out on big money by staying in school and not turning pro. "According to a recent article in Golf Wt tk. when he decides to go pro. it could be a S27 million deal." said Brockbank. After the Cougar Classic.
