Quote from Head Coach Lance Watson
Brandon played amazing golf this week to win. By winning the event he has earned an exemption to play the Compliance Solutions Korn Ferry Tour event. Playing in this event is a life changing moment for Brandon. Most golfers never get a chance to play in a Korn Ferry Tour event. This tournament could launch his pro career. ORU is very proud of Brandon and can't wait to watch him compete in the Korn Ferry Tour.

Up Next
ORU will travel to Waco, Texas, to play 36 holes against the Baylor Bears Monday, October 31.
