"Qualifying for NCAA Regionals as an individual is a significant accomplishment, and Shaun has earned it. He has put together a remarkably consistent season, putting himself in contention multiple times and capturing medalist honors at the Scrappy. Shaun has the game to advance through regionals and into the finals, especially on a course we both know well in Athens. I look forward to watching him compete on one of amateur golf's premier stages."
