Who stood out?
Register’s consistent play through the two rounds provided a great model for his teammates.
“William, as well as many of the other guys on the team, bounced back well from the Seahawk tournament,” head coach Andrew Sapp said.
Finishing with a combined score of 143, 1-under-par, Register notched an individual rank of 14.
“He had a good game plan, “Sapp said. “He did a really good job in the practice round, getting to know the course.”
