Â
INSIDE THE UTA LINEUP
1) Gonzalez: The sophomore leads the team with a 73.50 scoring average … ranked as the 5th-best golfer in the Sun Belt by Golfstat … suffered a hand injury earlier this week at the Little Rock Invitational, which forced him to withdraw early in the 1st round, but he shot a pair of 75s in the 2nd and final rounds … while only 10 rounds into the year, his 4.692 scoring average on par-5 holes is the 2nd-best in single-season program history (Zack Reeves: 4.691 in 2005-06).
Â
2) Cox: Has the 2nd-best scoring average on the team with a 75.73 … as a true freshman he has competed in all four tournaments so far this year … has led UTA in two tournaments, including earlier this week … shot a final-round 72 at the Little Rock Invitational, matching his season- and career-best round from late September at New Mexico's William H. Tucker Intercollegiate.
Â
3) Hicks: Another true freshman who will be making his fifth appearance of the year … has the 3rd-best scoring average on the team with a 76.91 … his score has been used in the team total all 11 rounds so far this fall.
Â
4) Gore: As a senior, he's the lone upperclassman in the lineup this week … ranks in the top-10 on the program's career list for birdies (8th, 261) and eagles (6th, 9) … 28 career par-or-better rounds are 12th on the program's all-time list.
Â
5) Cole: The redshirt sophomore will be making his season debut … participated in two events last year as a redshirt freshman, registering a 76.33 scoring average over six rounds … low round was a 71 in his first collegiate round last year.
Â
I) Jones: Made his collegiate debut as a true freshman at the Maridoe Intercollegiate earlier this month … also competed in the UTA lineup earlier this week at the Little Rock Invitational … his score has been used in the team total on three of six opportunities.
