Former Laker All-American Wilcox Fires a 59
Men’s Soccer Signs 15 Players for 2013 Season
by Gid Rowell, Athletics
Gearing up for the start of preseason prac-
tice in August, Clayton State men’s soccer
coach Pete Petersen announces the sign-
ing 15 players for the upcoming 2013 sea-
son.
Entering his 10th season at the helm of the
Clayton State men’s soccer program,
Petersen has a nice combination of youth
and experience in the 2013 class. The
incoming class includes six players with
previous college experience and nine
players entering as freshman, joining
eight talented returnees.
“We have a really good mix of youth and
veteran leadership in this class,” said
Petersen. “Last year, we were so young
that we felt it was important to bring in
some veteran players. With the experi-
enced group we have returning along with
the new guys, we have a solid group to
continue the winning tradition of Clayton
State soccer.”
The group of players transferring into the
Laker program will be: forwards Jamie
King and Samuel Barnsely; midfielder
Richard Craven; defenders Adam
Halliday and Adam Reakes; and goal-
keeper Nick Punter.
Along with the talented college transfers,
Clayton State has nine incoming freshman
including: Milton San Gabriel, left back;
Cameron Grassmyer, center back;
Jonathan Klein, goalkeeper; Kyler Kelsey,
goalkeeper; Casey Shultis, midfielder;
Aleksi Tuominen, left back; Matt Lowrie,
right back; Jake Carragher, midfielder;
and Logan Trouchet, midfielder.
Clayton State opens the regular season on
Thursday, Sept. 5, hosting Tampa in an 8
p.m. match at Laker Field.
For former Clayton State All-American
Will Wilcox, 2013 has been a dream sea-
son for him on the PGA’s Web.com Tour,
and that special season continued on
Sunday, July 14.
Wilcox fired a 12-under par 59 at
Sunday’s Utah Championship, tying for
third in the event. The score shattered the
course record of 63 and was only the third
59 in tour history. The other 59s in tour
history belong to Notah Begay, III, Doug
Dunakey and Jason Gore.
Wilcox drained a six-foot birdie putt to
secure his place in the record . He finished
at 21-under, a stroke out of a playoff.
“With the conditions and the left pins, I
was able to make some putts,” said
Wilcox. “It’s huge, obviously. It’s some-
thing every golfer dreams of, and on a par
71, it seems a little more attainable.”
Earlier this year, Wilcox won the South
Georgia Classic in Valdosta, Ga., his first
win on the Tour.
His third place finish on Sunday vaults him
to sixth on the tour’s money list at $205,306
for the year. The top 25 leading money win-
ners on this year’s Web.comTour earn a spot
on the PGA tour in 2014.
