Due to the COVID-19 outbreak forcing the sudden cancelation of the spring sports seasons, the athletic department will be highlighting the senior student-athletes from our spring sports as their careers have been cut short. 

Men's Golf's Austin van Sytzama (Delano, MN) 

Head Coach Darrin Skinner on Austin:

"Austin walked in the door (after transferring from Winona State) and fit right in. He worked hard, loves to play and was excited to help the team.  He really made sure to keep things fun!"

What are your plans after graduation?

I will be moving to Phoenix, Arizona at the beginning of June to pursue a career in Marketing and Data Analytics.

What is your favorite memory with your team?

My favorite memory with my team is traveling to Destin, Florida to play in the Golfweek Invitational. It was so much fun to spend the week with my teammates and getting to play against some of the best teams in the country.

Favorite class/professor?

Do you have any advice for your younger teammates or future Blugolds?

My advice for my younger teammates is to work as hard as you can, and never lose the fun in the game.

What's the best part about being a Blugold?

The best part about being a Blugold is the people that make up the university. I have met some of my best friends at this school, and I would never have met them if we weren't Blugolds.
