Gordon Sargent, Vandy
#2 Am in the world. Dude is good. And, arguably much better than Christo at #1. Long off the tee, dialed in with the irons, silky around the greens. Once he relaxes and gets his putting going, kid is going to impress people more than he already has.

Dylan Menante, UNC
#7 Am. NCAA Champion with Pepperdine. All-America. This senior is solid. Plays fast. And plays mean. Solid striker of the golf ball and excellent putter. High on our “To Watch” list, moving forward.

Cole Sherwood, Vandy
#16. Qualified for the US Am at Cherry Hills but didn’t shoot low enough to make it to match play. Texan may not be the fastest player out there, but he makes the game look easy.

Luke Clanton, FSU
Sophomore from Tallahassee by way of Hialeah is #18. Qualified for the US Am.

Jose Luis Ballester Barrio, ASU
Qualified for the US Am. #19 WAGR. Pretty solid but as many Spaniards do, tends to get animated out there. If he can tone it down a skosh, he’ll be all set.
