Former world No. 1 amateur golfer Chris Williams will be the program’s new assistant coach, head coach Steve Bailey announced in a press release Tuesday.
“(He) knows what it takes to be elite and the ability to share those experiences with our team will be invaluable,” Bailey said in a statement. “He exemplifies the character traits that are important to our program and carries a positive energy that’s contagious.”
The Moscow, Idaho, native spent 46 weeks as the top amateur golfer in summer 2012 prior to his senior season at University of Washington. Williams won six tournaments throughout his time in Seattle, which stands as the program’s best.
