Chan, the top ranked golfer in the region and third national, leads the Tartans with a scoring average of 71.1 over 23 rounds played. The senior tied his collegiate-best round of six-under par 66 at the Flower City Preview where he placed third individually in a field of 90 golfers.

He has recorded 17 rounds of even par or better this season.

Zhang has competed in all 23 rounds for the Tartans and has a scoring average of 72.8, which ranks second on the team. He carded three-under on two occasions this season for his season-low round. The first was at the Gate City in the fall and the other was this spring at the Capitol City Classic. Zhang has recorded 15 rounds of even par or better this season.
