Coach Maupin's comments

"We are excited to be adding a player of Toby's caliber in the spring signing period.  His scores really stood out to us, and he has shown an ability to put together some really low numbers.  He's also had some great finishes in top junior fields.  Once we had a chance to watch him play this summer, I was really sold on the passion and confidence that he plays with.  Toby makes a great addition to our 2017 class, and I think he has a chance to make an impact on our team right away."
 
Wilson's comments

"Visiting the campus and getting a personal tour ranked up there pretty high and the surrounding area is also beautiful. During my time at Lee I would like to graduate with a degree in business, help lead the golf team to a national championship, and prepare for life after school. Most importantly I can learn about golf and continue on my faith journey by learning more about God each day I am there.I love the atmosphere, and can't wait to be a part of the golf team and Lee University."
 
The Lee men and women will be traveling to Pine Mountain, Ga. this weekend to take part in the annual Gulf South Conference Tournament.
