New Page 1The Mizzou men’s golf team has signed two high school standouts to National Letters of Intent. MU Head Coach Mark Leroux has announced that Ryan Zech and Wilson Sundvold will join the Tigers in the Fall of 2011.
“We are excited to bring the two of the top three players in Missouri, including the top golfer in the state, to Mizzou,” Leroux said. “They are both strong players as well as being exceptional young men off the golf course. Of course, the Sundvold name will be familiar to Tiger fans. With the addition of these two young players, the future of our program looks very bright.”
Zech is a three-time All-State, All-Metro, All-Conference and All-District performer for Kearney (Mo.) High School. He is the top-ranked player in Missouri. Last summer, Zech claimed two PGA Junior Series wins and took medalist honors at the Midwest Junior Golf Tour event in St. Joseph, Mo.
Zech shot rounds of 72 and 69 at the Missouri Junior Amateur, finishing in fifth place. He took third place at the Western Junior Championships.
Sundvold is a Columbia, Mo. native, who is currently a senior at Rock Bridge High School. He is ranked as the No. 3 best player in Missouri. Sundvold finished eighth at the 2010 Missouri High School Class 4 Championship and was an All-State selection in 2009.
Last summer, Sundvold placed seventh at the PGA Junior Series tournament at Oak Tree Country Club and finished 10th at the USGA Boys Junior Amateur Qualifier in St. Louis. He is the son of Jon Sundvold, who starred for the Mizzou men’s basketball team from 1979-1983.
