HOUSTON – The University of Houston Men's Golf program will compete in 10 regular-season tournaments during the 2019-20 season, Director of Golf Jonathan Dismuke announced Tuesday.

Alexander Frances returns for his junior season after finishing second among the Cougars a year ago with a 73.12 scoring average and 12 rounds of par or better. The Stege, Denmark, native enjoyed two Top-10 finishes last season with a sixth-place showing at the Border Olympics after opening that tournament at 66-67.
Senior Logan Young finished third on the team with a 73.32 average in his first season with the Cougars, while fellow senior Zach Tracy tied for ninth at the Maridoe Intercollegiate in the second tournament of the season in 2018-19.
