When Wes McClain joined the UH golf program as a freshman, the program was still searching for its identity. It was the second year of head coach Jonathan Dismuke––now the director of golf––and the team was hardly a blip on the national radar. Through McClain’s four years, and through solid recruiting by Dismuke and his staff, the Cougars began their rise through the national rankings to No. 10 in the nation at this year’s NCAA Men’s Golf Championship. En route to its finish, UH won four golf tournaments this season.

McClain talks to us about the program’s rise, working with Dismuke, qualifying for the U.S. Amateur, and the next steps in his golfing career.
