[su_spacer size=”40″] The Bulldogs will play Monday through Wednesday in the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters. Georgia coach Chris Haack will use a lineup of seniors Mookie DeMoss and Nicholas Reach, juniors Lee McCoy and Sepp Straka, and sophomore Greyson Sigg. That quintet won The Carmel Cup in August and the Puerto Rico Classic last month.
[su_spacer size=”40″] “Going into Puerto Rico, our goal was to get the spring off to a good start and knock off a little rust,” Haack said. “Coming away with the win was an added bonus. Getting a victory and having all five guys contribute was a big confidence booster. We’re going into Las Vegas knowing that if we continue to play well that we can win.”
[su_spacer size=”40″] Joining the Bulldogs and tournament host UNLV will be Alabama, Arizona State, California, Illinois, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, SMU, Southern Cal, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Christian, Texas Tech and UCLA. The teams will play at Southern Highlands Golf Club, which is set up as a par-72 covering 7,510 yards.
[su_spacer size=”40″] “This is as good a field as we’ll see all season,” Haack said. “But our philosophy is, ‘Someone’s going to win, so it might as well be us.’ I just want our guys to fight and play the best they can. That’s all I ever ask for.”
