ABOUT the COUGARS
The Cougars earned their NCAA Regional berth with three stellar days of play at the American Athletic Conference Championships at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Fla., on April 21-23.
Behind senior Austyn Reily's eagle with the first group on the first hole of the Championships, the Cougars never trailed at the tournament and captured its first conference team title since 2013 with a score of 9-under 831. Senior Santiago De La Fuente fired three straight rounds in the 60s and captured the individual championships at 10-under 200 for his second individual crown in 2022-23.
This season, Fuente leads the Cougars with a 70.34 scoring average, which ranks as the second-best single-season mark in program history. The Guadalajara, Mexico, native also tops Houston with 25 rounds of par or better, including 13 in the 60s, and opened the spring season by winning the Border Olympics individual title at Laredo Country Club on Feb. 13-14.
For his impressive play throughout the season, De La Fuente was named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Year earlier Tuesday.
Senior Austyn Reily has posted a 72.84 average this season and joined De La Fuente with three straight rounds of par or better to finish second at The American Championships with a score of 7-under 203. He joined De La Fuente on the All-Conference Team, his second straight season to earn a place on the postseason squad.
The 2023 American Championships marked the first time that the Cougars finished 1-2 at a Conference tournament since Andy Sanders (1st, 212) and B.J. Staten (t-2nd, 215) accomplished that feat at the 2000 Conference USA Championships at The Club at Hidden Creek in Navarre, Fla (April 17-19, 2000).
Sophomore Wolfgang Glawe stands second on the team with a 72.32 average and 16 rounds of par or better. Competing in his first season with the Cougars after transferring from Kansas, Glawe emerged during the spring season and enters NCAA Regional play with four straight Top-25 finishes.
The St. Leon-Rot Germany, native joined De La Fuente and Reily on the All-American Athletic Conference Team.
