Last year Mackenzie finished fifth at the NCAAs, was picked a PING first-team All- American and became the first Husky to repeat as an All-Pac-10 selection. He shot par or better in 25 of 43 rounds and led the team with a 71.63 stroke average that ranks as the second-best in Washington history. Mackenzie’s epic season was highlighted at the Oregon Invitational when he equaled a pair of collegiate records by shooting 12-under 60 during the second 18 holes of play of the tournament’s opening day. Only two other college players have matched that net score and only one equaled his score against par. “It was a special season for Brock but that has only made him the hungrier to have an even better senior season,” Thurmond says. “He is unquestionably one of the best Brock Mackenzie players in the country.
