Head Coach Tim Norris Tim Norris is in his 14th season as the head men s golf coach at Kansas State after coming to Manhattan from UTEP prior to the 1997 season. Norris has brought an extensive knowledge of the game and a tremendous work ethic to the program, each of which have been derived from over 18 years of coaching experience and nine years on the PGA Tour, where he recorded four championships. When Norris took over the then down-trodden K-State program, the Wildcats had not finished in the top half of their conference since 1969. Heading into 2010-11, Norris has guided the Wildcats to NCAA Regional berths in six of the last eight years. K-State Heads to the Bayou UP NEXT: The Kansas State men s golf team will travel to Baton Rouge, La., to compete in the David Toms Intercollegiate at the Country Club of Louisiana, Monday-Tuesday, October 18-19. The event tees off Monday with a 36-hole shotgun start at 8:00 a.m, with Tuesday s final round parings teeing of on tees No. 1 and No. 10 between 8:00-10:00 a.m. Live scoring for the event will be available on www.golfstat.com. THE LINEUP: The Wildcats will be lead into action by a trio of freshmen, Thomas Birdsey, David Klaudt and Jack Watson, who have all showed flashes of success throughout the season. They will be joined by a pair of sophomores, Ben Juffer and Chase Chamberlin, to round out the scoring lineup. LOOK AT THE FIELD: The 14-team field includes: Arkansas, Georgia Southern, K-State, LSU, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana-Lafayette, Middle Tennessee State, Mississippi State, North Florida, Ole Miss, Rice, South Alabama, Southeastern Louisiana, UAB. YOUTH MOVEMENT: With 70 percent of the K-State roster being made up of underclassmen, the 2010-11 season has seen a bevy of young golfers receive invaluable experience for the Wildcats. Those underclassmen are taking advantage, accounting for seven of the team s nine Top-20 finishes in just four tournaments so far, including both top-5 placings. 2009 DAVID TOMS INTERCOLLEGIATE: This marks the first time that K-State will compete in the David Toms Intercollegiate. Last year s event was won by host LSU with an 8-under par 844. Jade Scott of Rice took home top honors individually, carding a 9- under par 204. LAST TIME OUT: The Wildcats struggled to gain traction at the Firestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio, finishing in 11th. Freshman Thomas Birdsey was the top performer for the Wildcats, carding a 3-over par 219 to put him in a tie for 20th.
