Coach Stark’s Comments on Chase: Chase has nice length off of the tee.  Chase has shown nice productivity and shot making with his irons. Chase has the ability, intelligence, and competitiveness to become a very good player.  Chase has gained some competitive college tournament golf experience, and he has shot some very good scores in his brief career. Chase really wants to be good. Chase had an outstanding Freshman season in 2023! He works diligently on his game, and that work ethic should enable him to continue to improve and again be a very solid player for the Tigers this Spring.
