Coming. off. the. two. best. postseason. performances. in. program. history,. the. Washington.men’s.golf.team.has.a.lot.to.look. forward.to.in.2007..If.last.year’s.showing.at.the. NCAA.Championships.is.any.indication,.the. Huskies.are.only.one.round.away.from.their. 2007 SEASON ultimate.goal.–.winning.a.national.title. After. finishing. second. at. the. Pac-10. Championships.and.third.at.the.West.Regional. last.year,.Washington.led.the.entire.field.at.the. 2006.NCAA.Championships.for.three.rounds. before.falling.to.a.ninth.place.finish.when.it.was. all.said.and.done. PLAYERS . For.sixth-year.head.coach.Matt.Thurmond,. that.ninth.place.finish.had.more.significance. than.a.school-record.third-place.finish.in.2005. –.a.year.that.also.saw.Washington.win.the.Pac- 10.title.and.place.third.at.regionals.. “That.was.quite.a.run.over.the.last.two.years. so.it.felt.like.the.last.year.in.many.ways.was.a. the.team’s.success.the.past.two.seasons. It.all. He.gained.added.experience.this.past.summer. culmination.of.two.years.of.work,”.Thurmond. COACHES bodes.well.for.high.expectations.for.another. competing.in.the.British.Amateur.and.the.U.S.. said. “To.tee.it.up.in.the.final.round.of.the. shot.at.the.team’s.ultimate.goal.-.an.NCAA. Amateur,. while. also. being. selected.to.take. NCAA.Championship.with.a.three-shot.lead. title. part.in.the.2006.Western.Refining.College.All- was.probably.the.highlight.of.all.of.our.careers.. “The.thing.is,.we’ve.been.there.and.we’ve. America.Classic.and.the.2007.U.S..Walker.Cup. It.didn’t.end.the.way.we.wanted.to,.but.we. been.very.successful,”.Thurmond.said..“Most. practice.squad.. still.had.a.great.time.doing.it. Our.ninth.place. of.our.team.knows.what.it’s.like.and.knows. “Alex.has.come.so.far.in.his.four.years.here,.
