round yesterday until the final three holes, and then today we played a reasonable round coming through the front nine before things came unraveled,” head coach Mike McGraw said. “These guys gave me everything they could possibly give me this year, and I’m
really happy with their effort and the way they grew together as a team. That’s really special when a team grows to love each other as much as these guys do.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the team lineup at the 2019 Championship. Cooper Dossey and Colin Kober will be back as seniors, while Ryan Grider and Mark Reppe return as juniors. The Bears also return Brandon Hoff and Travis McInroe, and they add four incoming freshmen who comprised arguably
the best recruiting class in program history. Follow @BaylorMGolf on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for updates throughout the season. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
