With Kent State head men's golf coach Herb Page recovering following quintuple bypass surgery on Aug. 15, Golden Flashes alum and 2003 British Open Champion Ben Curtis has volunteered to fill in for his mentor as a voluntary coach.
Curits flew out with the team today for its season-opening tournament at the Gopher Invitational in Minnesota. The offer to help his alma mater during a break from playing on the PGA Tour reunites Curtis with current Kent State associate head coach Jon Mills. The two were teammates from 1998-2000 when they led the Flashes to a pair of top-25 national finishes.
