STAMFORD, Conn. --New Wisconsin head men's golf coach, Michael Burcin, is taking us inside the Palmer Cup with a series of blogs. Burcin, who is serving as an assistant coach with the team, published his final entry as play concluded Saturday.
"What started out as a nervous and stressful last day of singles ended in victory for the 2011 Palmer Cup team. Being down one point going into the last day, we needed to win 5 of 8 singles matches to claim the cup. With stellar play from our guys, we did just that." Read more:
An assistant at South Carolina the past seven years, Burcin was named head coach at Wisconsin on May 31. He was named the 2010 Golf Coaches Association of America's Jan Strickland Assistant Coach of the Year.
In April, he was selected to serve as an assistant at the 2011 Palmer Cup, a Ryder Cup-style competition as teams of collegiate golfers from the United States and Europe square off in a three-day match play event.
