Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech VIRGINIA TECH GOLF The Hokies’ home — Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech VIRGINIA TECH GOLF From the outstanding golf team complex at the Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech, to the challenging and beautiful layout along the New River (bottom), the Virginia Tech golf program is first-class all the way in helping to prepare young men to excel. Former Hokies Win on Tour Johnson Wagner won the PGA Tour’s 2008 Shell Houston Open, and 2008 Nationwide Tour Player of the Year Brendon de Jonge won the Xerox Classic. Winning is an expectation, not a desire ... 2010 OUTLOOK Young Hokies Look to Make Their Mark In collegiate athletics, graduation means a coach is consistently faced with replacing senior leadership.

Virginia Tech Golf Supporters ........................... 48-IBC 1 OUTLOOK continued After being unable to defend their title due to a change in tournament dates last year, the Hokies returned to the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate at The Ridges. With three players finishing in the top-11 individually, including posting seven rounds of par-or-better, the team played solidly each day and finished fourth. The fall season concluded the following week at a new event on the schedule, the UNCG Bridgestone Intercollegiate, which was contested at Forest Oaks Country Club, site of the PGA Tour’s Greater Greensboro Open for 30 years. The team managed difficult weather conditions well and went on to finish seventh, providing some momentum to build upon for the spring. This year’s team is one of the youngest in recent years, with no seniors, three juniors, one sophomore and three freshmen. After qualifying for the US Amateur for the second time in three years, junior Marshall Bailey continued his consistent play throughout the fall season. Having competed in every tournament during his career at Tech, he recorded 7 of 11 rounds at par-or-better and compiled a 72.0 stroke average, finishing 21st or better in all four events. Bailey has now moved into fourth place on the all-time scoring list for the Hokies. Fellow junior Garland Green also played in every one of the fall events. He led the team and recorded a career-best runner-up finish at the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate at The Ridges, posting three consecutive rounds of one-under-par 71. Green was second on the team in scoring for the fall with a 72.8 average. Another junior, Aaron Eckstein, was voted Captain of this year’s team and played in all four tournaments. The Hokies’ younger players have made quite an impact. Sophomore Blake Redmond posted a career-best fourth-place finish in the opening event and remained in the lineup throughout the fall, finishing fourth in scoring on the team. Many believe that freshman Mikey Moyers is the next top player at Virginia Tech based on his progress thus far. Moyers competed in every tournament and led the team in only his second event, the Brickyard Collegiate, where he finished 15th after sharing the individual lead following the opening round. He also had a top 5 finish at the Bank of Tennessee at The Ridges Intercollegiate and was third on the team in scoring for the fall season with a 73.0 average. Another freshman, Jacob Everts, qualified for the first tournament and gained valuable experience while competing as an individual in two additional events. Freshman Marc MacDonald was the only player not to see action in the fall. The coaching staff would like to red-shirt MacDonald this season, but are confident in his ability and would not hesitate to put him in the lineup if needed. These are the players that will determine the team’s success throughout the spring and in the years to come. Under the guidance of Hall of Fame head coach Jay Hardwick and 2009 NCAA Assistant Coach of the Year Brian Sharp, this talented group is determined to continue their success in the always-demanding ACC. The spring season will once again begin in Puerto Rico, and with the number of outstanding tournaments that will follow, the Hokies will certainly be well prepared for the ACC Championship and a return to NCAA postseason play.

It has been the site of golf’s most prestigious tourna- ments, including the annual AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and five U.S. Open Championships. Pebble Beach will host another U.S. Amateur in 2018 and its sixth U.S. Open in 2019. Truly the most coveted course in the world to play! Spyglass Hill® Spyglass Hill is without question one of the top public golf courses in the U.S. Ranked #48 in the U.S, it is located on the Pebble Beach peninsula. The PGA TOUR®, consistently lists Spyglass Hill’s holes 6, 8 and 16 among the toughest on the TOUR, and during the 1999 US Amateur, the stroke average of the field during medal play was in excess of 79.

  • US Open Pre-Event Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE ROLEX CELEBRATES 40TH EDITION AS OFFICIAL TIMEKEEPER OF THE U.S. OPEN Geneva, Switzerland, Wednesday, 05 June 2019 – One of the greatest golfing venues in the world, Pebble Beach Golf Links will welcome 156 of the world’s best professional and amateur golfers for the 119th edition of the U.S. Open from 13–16 June. This will be the sixth time that Pebble Beach has hosted the event, one of the four annual golf Majors, highlighting the championship pedigree of this revered course which celebrates its centenary year in 2019. This year also marks the 40th edition of the tournament that Rolex will preside over as Official Timekeeper, a position it has held since 1980. For more than 50 years, the Swiss watch manufacturer has nurtured one of the most enduring relationships between a brand and sport. In 1967, Rolex partnered with Arnold Palmer, joined by friends and rivals Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, affectionately known as The Big Three, who played a key role in modernizing this ancient sport. Since then, Rolex has become intimately linked with golf, extending its support to every level of the game, from its elite players, to men and women’s Major championships and the foremost professional tours around the globe. It is a partnership steeped in quality, reliability and a pioneering spirit, attributes that permeate everything Rolex does.
