Coach's Corner: Quotes from University of Wyoming Director of Golf and Head Men's Golf Coach
Joe Jensen.
"The conference championship is of course a tournament we point to every year. This will be another new experience for the young guys on our team, but they've been through a lot of firsts this season and they've done a good job of accepting those challenges.
"
John (Murdock) and
Dan (Starzinski) are our only two players who have played in the conference championship before, so we'll look to them for leadership this week.
"I want the guys to look at this as a great opportunity, go out and play hard and not put too much pressure on themselves.
"It looks like we'll be the eight seed, but there are several teams seeded ahead of us who we have beaten this season, so I hope that will give our guys some confidence heading into the weekend."
