Louisville, Ky. - If the 2004 fall season is any indication, the University of Louisville's men's golf team could be in for big things this spring.
After a disappointing season a year ago, the Cardinals look like they are back on track after winning a pair of tournaments last fall, and finishing in the top five in four others. The Cardinals won their own tournament back in September, winning the Cardinal Intercollegiate by 20 strokes. Louisville closed the fall campaign by capturing the Fall Beach Classic.
"It was a great fall for us," said head coach Mark Crabtree. "The guys played well together and were very consistent. Our freshmen class was ranked as the best in the country, and Charlie Woo and Brett Jones were steady as usual."
The Cardinal rookies were unbelievable in the fall, especially twin brothers, Derek and Daryl Fathauer.
Derek paced the team with an amazing 72.40 stroke average, including two top 10 finishes. As an individual at the Cardinal Intercollegiate, Derek finished in second place with 207, just one shot behind Woo, who took medalist honors. Derek was also tied for sixth at the Fall Beach Classic.
Daryl was just as impressive, finishing the fall with a solid 72.77 average, the third-highest on the team. He also ended the fall with a sixth-place finish at the Fall Beach Classic and was sixth at the Cardinal Intercollegiate.
Woo was second on the squad with a 72.44 average and was steady. He recorded three top 10 finishes last fall, and could be ready for a huge impact this spring.
Senior Brett Jones was up-and-down, but seems to be headed in the right direction. He ended the fall with a four-place finish at the Fall Beach Classic, and was sixth at the Cardinal Intercollegiate.
"We are looking for big things this spring," said Crabtree. "I can't wait for the season to get here. We struggled a bit last year, but I feel we're headed in the right direction."
