How do you follow up on the best postseason in a program’s history? Where do you set the bar for a returning NCAA champion? The Washington men’s golf team will get the chance to answer all of those questions in 2006, thanks to a 2005 spring season that saw the team rise to new heights.

Zach Bixler, who finished two strokes behind. He also finished 18th at the Sahalee Players Championship. “I expect a lot from Zach,” Thurmond Erik Olson says. “I think he’s still just scratching the surface on how good he can be. He has a

lot of natural competitive ability to get the job done. As he becomes a better golfer and tightens up his fundamentals a little bit, he’s only going to get better. He’s a guy that you want playing for you when something’s on the line.” To fill out the rest of his lineup, Thurmond believes he has plenty of good options. “We’re looking for somebody to step up,” he says. “Joe Panzeri played for us a lot James last year. He played for us in the postseason Lepp last year and did a nice job. Sterling Clark is another guy that played for us in the Pac-10 Championship last year and helped us win that. He also has a ton of potential. Seth Yates is a senior who actually played on the soccer team as a freshman. He really played well at the end of the fall season. Our other two guys are freshman, Kellen Eakin and John Wise. Both of them are learning quickly. They could definitely play for us Alex Prugh in the spring if they keep improving.” No matter who steps up, Thurmond 3 J A M E S L E P P S E N I O R • A B B O T T S F O R D , B . C .
