O
ne of the most highly ranked
international players to ever
play for the Hokies, Sarit didn’t
disappoint. An opening round
64 tied the school record and
propelled him to a third place
finish in his first collegiate
tournament. He was low for the
team in four of the five events
and became the first Virginia
Tech player to average under
70 in a fall season. Sarit has
as much natural talent as any
player I have ever coached and
the potential to be a four-time
All-American.
