2009 K-State
PREVIEW
Internal competition was the story for the Wild-cats this fall as coach Kristi Knight fielded a dif-ferent lineup all five events. Each week of anevent brought a strong showing in qualifyingrounds at Colbert Hills across a roster thatbrought back everyone from last year’s squadand added two highly competitive freshmen.
The competition brought steady improvementwith the team showing an eight-stroke improve-ment from the fall of 2008.
“Every lady that competed this fall improved theirstroke average from the fall of 2008 to the fall of2009,” Knight said. “That is a big plus for us,”said Knight.
K-State’s top two events came at its home event,the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational, wherethe Wildcats placed third out of 13 teams, and thePrice’s Give’em Five Intercollegiate, where theyplaced seventh of 18 teams. In both events, theWildcats defeated multiple teams who wereranked higher in the polls at the time.
In K-State’s only home event, the Wildcats wereable to provide a strong showing for their localsupporters. Carding 329 and a 313 in the first tworounds, followed by a 305 in the third and finalround, K-State finished third overall at 947 (+83).It was the best finish in the event since 2005when the Cats also placed third.
The best scoring output came in Las Cruces,N.M., at the Price’s Give’em Five where K-Stateshot a three-round score of 900 (+36), includinga season-low second-round of 295, which surgedthe Wildcats into the to top half of the leader-board where they.
The Wildcats finished up the fall season in Ki-awah Island, S.C., at the Palmetto Intercollegiate.The first two rounds were promising as the Catsshot a 304 in both rounds, but the third roundbrought a score of 313 to drop them to 11thplace.
“This team has shown that they can shoot evenor under par whether it is in tournaments or qual-ifying rounds. So it is there, but what we have tominimize the scores of 82 and 83 when thingsaren’t going well,” Knight said. “Golf is not aboutbeing perfect, but it is about how good you are ona bad day.”
Thought the fall competitive season ended in lateOctober, the ladies continued to swing the clubsin throughout November. The extra practice theyput in during the off-season will look to pay offthis spring.
Seniors
Abbi SunnerThe Ankeny, Iowa, native has continued to be aleader for the Wildcats on and off the course. Fol-lowing a slow start, the senior got back on trackat the Price’s Give’em Five Intercollegiate, whereshe placed 23rd among individuals.
“Abbi Finished the fall strong playing very solidgolf in five of her last six rounds. The key for Abbiis to stay in the present and not get ahead of her-self on the course. She gives great effort to every-
thing she does and sometimes she is guilty ofpressing a bit. When she is patient and in the mo-ment she has shown she can score well in anyconditions,” said Knight.
Morgan MoonMoon continued to improve from year-in andyear-out, and this fall didn’t prove any different.The Amarillo, Texas, product owned the best fallstroke average on the team at 77.08, nearly threestrokes better than last fall. Moon tallied a 21-over 237, en route to a 20th place finish at theMarilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational, her bestof the fall. Her best score of the fall season cameat the Price’s Give’em Five Intercollegiate, whereshe carded an 8-over par, to put her in a tie for23rd.
“I am really pleased and proud of Morgan’s im-provement. She has worked diligently to get intothe lineup and has become a much more patientgolfer which has led to lower scores,” saidKnight.
Juniors
Elise HoutzElise competed well in the first two events of thefall season, posting career bests in both tourna-ments. In the Chip-N-Club Invitational, Houtzshot a 54-hole score of 226, the lowest of her ca-reer. Elise backed that performance up with thelowest round of her career, shooting an even-par72 at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational.In the same event, Houtz earned her best finish ofher career when she tied for 14th.
“Elise is a great team leader by example,” saidKnight. “Elise stepped up big by playing great golflast spring at the Big 12 Championship and wewill look for that again this spring. It would notsurprise me if she bested her scores in the springof 2010.”

PREVIEWEmily HoutzEmily finished the fall season with a 3.8-strokeimprovement from a year ago. Her great fall cameon the heels of a stellar summer where she fin-ished in the top eight at the Western Amateur inLima, Ohio. She backed that up with a secondplace finish at the Kansas Amateur in Hutchinson,Kan. Emily shot her best score in the first event ofthe fall at the Chip-N-Club Invitational where shecarded an 18-over par 234, putting her in a tie for41st.
“Emily is starting to see the benefits of her timespent on the Colbert Hills practice facilities. Shetook a step forward this summer with an eliteeight appearance at the Women’s Western Ama-teur and a second-place finish at the KansasWomen’s Amateur,” said Knight.
Sophomores
Ami StoreyStorey recorded a career best 54-hole score of223 at the Price’s Give’em Five Intercollegiate giv-ing her a tie for 14th, also a career best.
“Ami may have shown the biggest improvementon the team this fall,” said Knight. “She was verymuch in transition last year, with adjusting tobeing away from England. Now she is more atease and has more energy and focus for golf. Sheplayed very will at Nebraska and New Mexico andI am confident there will be more performanceslike those and better.”
Paige OsterlooOsterloo finished the fall season with more thana 1.5-stroke improvement from a year ago. Thesophomore’s best outing of the fall came at theMarilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational where shefinished 13th and shot a 17-over par 233.
“Paige is one to look out for this spring,” saidKnight. “She had a very demanding academicschedule in the fall being a civil engineering majorso her extra time was limited. She has used theoff-season time to get some extra practice andshe will benefit from a lighter class load thisspring. She is full of positive energy no matterwhat is going on and the team loves her for that.”
Laura Hildenbrandt“We are using this season as a red-shirt year forLaura,” said Knight. “She was not quite 100%from her injury when the season started and wedid not want to rush her recovery. It also providesan opportunity for our freshmen to get more play-ing time this year. Next year it will benefit us tohave her back full strength.”
Freshmen
Kristen DorseyDue to an injury, Dorsey was away from the gamefor almost a year and half. The Florida native wasfinally able to get on the course at a more con-sistent basis late in the summer of 2009. Kristengot her first taste of collegiate competition at thehome event where she tied for 56th.
“I am very pleased for Kristen as a young lady,”said Knight. “She had a rough freshman year witha significant injury. She has worked very hard toget back. Kristen showed flashes of her pre-injurygame and the end of the fall season.”
Whitney PylePyle came into the collegiate game with very littlecompetition experience. The inexperience wasquickly put to the test as she qualified to play inthe Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational, justthe second event of the fall season. The Kansanstruggled in her first collegiate round, shooting a13-over par 85, but showed improvement from
then on. She went on to card a 79 in the secondround backed by a 78 in the third and final roundplacing her in a tie for 33rd.
“Whitney came in with very limited tournamentexperience, so I am very pleased with what shehas shown,” said Knight. “She loves to play golfand compete and she has been a great addition toour team.”
Hanna RoosIn Roos’ first collegiate competition, she tied forseventh place and shot a 15-over par 231. TheSwede would lead the Wildcats in the very nextevent as well, carding a 21-over par 237, tying for45th.
“Hanna has been a tremendous addition to ourteam,” said Knight. “She always seems to have asmile on her face and she will continue to be apositive impact for this team.”
The spring season will tee off at the Eagle Land-ing Invitational in Orange Park, Fla., at the OakleafPlantation Golf Course, March 7-9. Coach Knightwill look for tough competition throughout thespring season and she will expect competitionduring qualifying rounds as well.
“We need some people to step up and take own-ership of the lineup,” said Knight. “I am confidentthat I have a roster full of young ladies that wantto be the No. 1 player and break out from thefield. The bulk of the team consists of freshmenand sophomores, and the fact that everyone com-peted this fall is a good thing.”
Improvement was big in the fall season and theCats will look to take the next step as they workdeeper into the spring.
“It is going to be a competitive spring and theladies understand that and more importantly theyare not afraid of it.”

2009 K-State
INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCEThe international influence has played a big part in K-State’s lineup overthe last two years and this season’s team proves to be no different.Laura Hildenbrandt, Hanna Roos and Ami Storey all bring talent frominternational borders to this year’s team. During the fall, Roos andStorey competed in eight events and each collected a top-15 finish.
The demand for international players has grown tremendously andcoach Knight has recognized that trend.
“Today in women’s golf, I think you have to recruit internationally. Ifnot, you are disregarding a significant portion of the talent pool. Youcan either play with them or against them,” said Knight.
A native of Woodlands Park, United Kingdom, Storey made her mark atK-State early in her career. The sophomore has registered three top-20finishes, her best coming last fall at the Price’s Give’em Five Intercolle-giate when she tied for 14th. Her success at K-State was carried overfrom her success in the UK where she was a junior country match and stroke play champion from 2004-06 and a match play champion again in 2008.In addition, she was the 2006 Britian County Champion, which made her the youngest winner in the tournament’s 75-year history. Perhaps the mostprestigious finish of her career came at last season’s Big 12 Championship where she finished in a tie for 20th, helping the team to a fourth place finishin the conference.
Roos didn’t waste anytime making an impact in K-State’s lineup as sheled the Wildcats in the season’s second event with a seventh-place fin-ish in the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational. Roos conitinued tolead the Wildcats in the Johnie Imes Intercollegiate when she shot a 54-hole score of 237 (+21).
Roos came to the United States from Uppsala, Sweden, where she par-ticipated in the Skandia Tour Elite, the highest level for junior golfers inSweden. The Swede ranked first in the Order of Merit on the 2008 Up-land Tour and helped the Uppsala Golf Club’s junior team to a fourth-place ranking out of 323 teams in Sweden. Hanna’s sister Maria, playsgolf at Mississippi State.
Coming from the neighbor to the north, Hildenbrandt competed in allfive fall tournaments of her freshman year. The Canadian carded thebest finish thus far in her career at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invita-tional where she tied for 20th. Hildenbrandt was unable to compete in
the following spring due to injury and has chosen to use her redshirt year this season.
In Canada, Hildenbrandt won over 40 individual, team and tour victories and set two different course records when she was 14. Hildenbrandt was a2005 Bronze medalist as a member of the GOA Team Ontario at the RCGA Canadian Jr. Girls Championship. As a senior at Ancaster High School, shewon four individual championships.
The playing season in America is much longer than Ami, Hanna andLaura are used to from back home. That, combined with another largeincentive makes the decision to come to America much easier.
“Our system of college athletics is unique. There is really nothing likeit. Ami, Laura and Hanna all wanted the opportunity to get a good edu-cation, develop their game and compete at a high level. K-State givesthem that opportunity,” said Knight.
The change in food, language, customs and television are just some ofthe challenges that International players face. They have a lot to under-stand and adjust to but their American born teammates do everythingthey can to make it easier.
“It also gives the American born players insight into another country and culture. Our team loves food and most like to cook. Ami, Laura and Hannahave all shared food items from their native countries. The Swedish chocolate bars are pretty darn good.”

K-State shot a 306 (+18) and finished seventh overallout of 14 teams, one spot better than last year’s event.
“We just did not make many birdies,” said head coachKristi Knight. “For some, the ball striking was not assolid has it has been. The ladies had stretches of solidgolf but just didn't put an entire round together. It wasa better result than we had on this course a year ago
and I am proud of how they competed.”
Missouri continued their success with a final roundscore of 288 (E), giving the Tigers first place with athree-round total of 878. Amy Anderson from NorthDakota State topped all individuals with a final roundscore of 69 (-3) to finish the tournament 6-under par210.

HEAD COACH
KnightKristi
Kristi Knight enters her 15th year as head women’s golf coach at Kansas Stateafter guiding the Wildcats to a fourth place finish at the Big 12 Championship. Theaccomplishment was the best post-season finish in school history.
Knight came to K-State as the school’s first full-time women’s golf coach in thefall of 1995 after playing at the University of Oklahoma.
“I was encouraged to become a coach by my coach at Oklahoma,” Knight said. “Iam forever grateful to Coach Ludvigson for that.”
A native of Crockett, Texas, Knight graduated from Norman (Okla.) High School.Knight played collegiate golf at Oklahoma from 1985-88. Knight was a consistentplayer for the Sooners, lettering three years under head coach Carol Ludvigson. As asenior, Knight was named team co-captain and selected as a Scholastic All-American.
After earning her bachelor’s degree, Knight began working at the prestigious OakTree Country Club in Edmond, Okla., and then went on to earn her master’s degree insports administration from Oklahoma in 1993.
“I am a competitive person and I love the challenges and rewards that coaching provides,”Knight said. “It has taken me places I never would’ve gone. The relationships you build and thefriendships you make with everyone are great.”
Knight has guided the Wildcats to six collegiate wins. The first was at the Northern Iowa Clas-sic, Sept. 23, 1996. The Wildcats also claimed the team titles at the Mountain View Collegiate,March 24, 2002, the Sunflower Invitational, Oct. 15, 2002, and when hosting the MarilynnSmith/Sunflower Invitational, Oct. 13-14, 2003. K-State also took the trophy at the Texas A&MMo'Morial March 1-2, 2004.
“Being able to coach at a university like K-State is an honor,” Knight said. “It is a great aca-demic institution in a community of tremendous people.”
Since her arrival in 1995, the Wildcats have placed in the top five at 47 tournaments and in thetop three 28 times. Under Knight, Trisha Hoover became K-State’s first all-conference women’sgolfer in 1996. Christine Boucher finished second in the Big 12 Conference Championship in 2002,the highest ever for a Wildcat in a conference championship and grabbed Second Team All-Big 12honors. She was named to the first team in 2003, and in 2004 Boucher was named the Big 12Conference Player of the Year.
“My goal is for my players to improve their game and develop as a person during their time atK-State,” Knight said. “I want each young lady to leave K-State with the ability and opportunity toachieve their goals.”
“This is an important time in their lives. When they arrive, many of them are unsure what theywant to do or what they think they can do. I want to make sure they know they can accomplishanything they put their heart and mind to.”
Under Knight, the Wildcats qualified for the NCAA Regional Championships four straight years,from 2001-04. Knight also guided Boucher to the NCAA Championships in 2003, the first Wildcatto qualify.
K-State’s team and individual scoring records have come under the watch of Knight. The top18-hole and 54-hole team scores were set by the 2002-2003 team in the Edwin Watts Intercolle-giate at Oak Point G.C. in Kiawah, S.C. That team shot a 286 on day two to the set the 18-holerecord and totaled three rounds of 874, the 54-hole record, for the two days.
At the same tournament, Boucher claimed the top individual scores for a Wildcat in school his-tory. She posted a 64 on day two of the tournament for the best 18-hole score. She shot a three-round total of 204 to take home first-place honors and set the Wildcat individual 54-hole best.
Knight will look to guide a competitive K-State squad into the 2009-10 season. Last year’s teamfinished as high as second twice – at the Chip-N-Club Invitational and the Bronco Fall Invitational.
Knight was asked to serve on the NCAA Central Regional Selection Committee from 2004-2006and was selected by the NGCA to serve on the Awards Committee since 2006.

THE LITTLE APPLE
A student-athlete’s life involves more than academics and athletics.Like most college students, student-athletes need to relax and have agood time, and Manhattan is the place to do just that.
Manhattan is a progressive community of 47,916 people located in aregion which includes a total population of nearly 80,000.
A two-hour drive or half-hour commuter flight from Kansas City,Manhattan reflects the joys and opportunities of big city living while re-taining a friendly, open atmosphere.
Manhattan has many appealing places to shop, eat and socialize. Anaward-winning shopping mall is located in the heart of the downtownregion, and Aggieville - a district of shops and restaurants just beyondthe southern border of campus - continues to be particularly popularwith students.
There are several beautiful parks and walkways throughout thecity, while picturesque Tuttle Creek Reservoir sits just five miles fromcampus for seasonal swimming, water skiing and boating. Additionally,the 12,000-plus-seat Bramlage Coliseum has become a favorite stop formajor concerts throughout the year.
Around the holidays, Manhattan bustles with activity and last yearapproximately 15,000 revelers took to the streets of Aggieville to cele-brate the Little Apple at the annual New Year’s Eve ball drop (below)that transforms the town into a mini Times Square celebration.

ADMINISTRATION
John Currie, who was introduced as Kansas State’s 15th Director of Athletics on May 18, has emphasized the importance of accessibilityand accountability early in his tenure as K-State sets its sights on achieving the vision of having a model intercollegiate athletics program.
A highlight of Currie’s early initiatives was the implementation of the “K-State Pledge” in July which includes a series of financial account-ability measures and core values that will serve as the foundation of K-State’s vision. Among those values are five goals: a world-class stu-dent-athlete experience; value to the University, city and state; integrity and transparency in relation to ethics, finance and NCAA compliance;championship-level athletic performances; and the best fan experience in the Big 12.
In an effort to create the best fan experience possible, Currie’s staff created new ticket initiatives for football that led to the largest home-opening crowd in Bill Snyder Family Stadium history on September 5, 2009 (50,750). In his first 60 days on the job, Currie also worked toestablish relationships across campus, through steps such as personally visiting with K-State deans in their respective offices. He also
serves as a member of President Kirk Schulz’s cabinet and has made presentations and held question and answer sessions with many other campus organizations.Currie also immediately implemented a communications plan in an effort to regain the trust of all Wildcat fans, which included in-person stops throughout the state, regular
online letters and chats and K-State’s first-ever FanForum conference call, which saw more than 3,000 fans participate.Understanding the importance of coaching continuity in building successful programs, Currie moved quickly to sign 2009 Big 12 Baseball Coach of the Year Brad Hill
and women’s basketball head coach Deb Patterson to a contract extensions and also led the effort to complete the five-year contract for legendary returning football coachBill Snyder.
Currie began his duties as Athletics Director on June 8 after 10 years at the University of Tennessee, most recently serving as Executive Associate Athletics Director forAthletic Director Mike Hamilton. Currie was responsible for the direct management of units that annually produced $84 million in revenue and gifts, including the department’sfundraising, marketing, ticketing, media relations, public relations, internet and broadcasting offices. Currie also provided oversight for the men’s basketball program andother department initiatives and helped direct numerous searches that led to the hiring of successful head coaches.
An integral member of the facility planning team for UT’s $200 million master plan renovations for Neyland Stadium, Currie also directed a $36 million arena renovationand basketball practice facility construction project that was completed in the fall of 2007. He developed and implemented the revenue models to fund both projects withoutoutside funding from the state or local government, tax dollars or University-derived support.
Currie’s accomplishments at Tennessee included helping the University secure a $50 million commitment in 2006 for academic and athletic needs, a gift which representedthe largest from an individual in Tennessee history. Units under his direction also negotiated an $84 million multi-media rights contract with then-Host Communications,and a $19.3 million all-sport contract with Adidas. Under his leadership, giving to Tennessee athletics more than doubled from $19.5 million in 2003 to $41.6 million in 2008.
Currie led the negotiation and implementation ofnew student season ticket sales for football in 2008,resulting in $900,000 of new department revenue in itsfirst year. He also implemented new regular-seasonfootball sales strategies that helped Tennessee set anew single-game attendance record of 109,061 in2004.
Tennessee’s athletic facilities as a whole benefittedfrom Currie’s efforts as the development office securedindividual-naming recognition gifts that included $4million for a new aquatic center, $2 million for a newsoftball stadium, $1.5 million for a new soccer stadiumand $2 million for baseball renovations. Tennessee’strack complex also was renovated, while ground wasbroken last summer for a new Greg Norman-designedintercollegiate golf practice complex and clubhouse.
Currie oversaw the development and execution of acomprehensive marketing plan in 2005 that led to at-tendance at SEC home basketball games improving 54percent from the previous year, while student atten-dance increased by 197 percent.
Currie joined the Tennessee staff in 1997 as Execu-tive Director of the Volunteer Athletic Scholarship Fund(VASF). Following a two-year stint as Assistant Athlet-ics Director at Wake Forest, Currie returned to Knoxville in 2000 as Assistant Athletics Director for Development and served as director for the "STEP UP" campaign. As UT’sfirst-ever capital campaign, it exceeded its goal and reached a total of $48.6 million, $4 million over the intended goal, with gifts from 870 donors. In 2002, Currie was pro-moted to Associate Athletics Director for Development.
He served as President of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) development officers group for 2004-05, chaired the 2007 CASE national athletic development conferenceand was a member of the SEC ticket policy committee. The Knoxville News Sentinel recognized Currie in December 2008 by naming him to its prestigious “Top 40 LeadersUnder 40” list.
He began his professional career at Wake Forest in 1993 as a Deacon Club intern before being named Assistant Deacon Club Director in 1994, a position he held until1997.
Highlights of Currie’s stints at Wake Forest include developing student and young alumni programs, creating a new endowment and planned giving program, managingthe coaches circle volunteer program and assisting in the leadership of the “Touchdown 2000” football field house and Miller Center basketball practice/academic counselingfacility campaigns.
Currie earned his master’s in sports management from Tennessee in 2003 and is a 1993 Wake Forest graduate. He and his wife Mary Lawrence, have three children, Jack,Virginia and Mary-Dell.

The reputation of Colbert Hills as that re-ally big course out in Kansas is attractingplayers from across the country that wantto test their skills against one of the na-tion's toughest courses.
The dream of Colbert Hills goes back to1994 when Senior PGA Tour great Jim Col-bert, an alumnus of Kansas State, got in-volved with a project to help the schoolbuild a university-run course, a placewhere the Kansas State golf team couldtrain and where the school could train golfcourse superintendents and managers anddo research on turfgrass. The university'svision and that of Jim Colbert was that theproject would also be a public daily feecourse and one where disadvantaged chil-dren could learn the game of golf.
Colbert found the perfect site, 300 acresin the Flint Hills area on the northwest edgeof Manhattan. An alumnus who was graz-ing cattle on this site donated the property,and Colbert donated a half million dollars.Soon other donors signed on. Jim Colbertcombined with well-known Dallas architectJeffrey Brauer to lay out the $11 millioncourse.
“God built about 14 of the holes, and webuilt about four of them,” Colbert said. “I
hope you can't tell the difference.” Colbert Hills opened officially in May
2000 with a bevy of golfing celebrities onhand, including Lee Trevino, RaymondFloyd and Annika Sorenstam, who playedin a Founders Pro-Am.
“What an unbelievable effort to attractthe commitment and bring all these peopletogether,” said PGA Tour commissionerTim Finchem at the dedication.
“What they got (at Kansas State) is a bigsprawling layout that rides comfortably onthe Flint Hills outside Manhattan,” JohnGarrity, Sports Illustrated columnist, said.“From the seventh tee, you can see formiles in all directions and what you see ismostly sky and prairie, with a few ranchesthrown in for rustic charm.”
What Kansas State had built is a hugelinks-style course that plays at 7,525 yardsfrom the back tees, nicknamed the Blackand Blue tees. It lies on a superb site ofrolling hills with changes in elevation thatmost Americans had no idea could exist inthe prairies of Kansas. Colbert Hills in-cludes a new clubhouse, state of the artdriving range and enough acreage for anine-hole teaching course, as well as ahost of research and academic opportuni-
ties for K-State researchers and students. Colbert Hills has become the first PGA
Tour collegiate licensed facility. With aworld-class golf course, the university willrestructure the turf program, making it oneof the best in the world. Today, K-State of-fers a specialized degree in turf manage-ment and has separated itself from allother turf programs in the nation by ex-panding its curriculum to include all as-pects of the profession, including businessadministration and hospitality.
Graduates are now effectively preparedin the overall management of golf facilities. "GCSAA is pleased to join Jim Colbert, thePGA Tour and Kansas State University inthis endeavor that will benefit all who enjoythe game of golf," said GCSAA Chief Exec-utive Officer Stephen F. Mona.
"The positive impact of this project willbe far reaching - a golf management pro-gram to train tomorrow's leaders, a re-search facility to aid the golf industry anda first-class facility for golf enthusiasts toenjoy a game that is growing faster thanany sport in America."

Colbert Hills broke ground on a $5 million clubhouse in July of 2008 in hopes to bringthe missing piece to the state’s No. 1 public golf course. The clubhouse houses fourlocker rooms, a pro shop, a multipurpose area, a conference room and a bar and grillwithin its estimated 13,500 square feet. The project was funded entirely with private do-nations. The clubhouse will provide for local events such as weddings, fundraisers andmore.
“K-State Golf has a great place to call home. It is a
first class facility that will be enjoyed by all who par-
ticipate in an event or play a round with friends at
Colbert Hills.” - Women’s Coach Kristi Knight
