SPOKANE, Wash. - Gonzaga University men's golf head coach Robert Gray announced the addition of sophomore Sean Carlino to the 2013-14 Bulldogs squad. Carlino is transferring to Gonzaga from Grand Valley State University and will be immediately eligible next fall.
"Sean is hungry to compete at the highest level of collegiate golf and we're excited to have him joining our program," stated Gray. "He's a big, strong young man and has a smooth swing that will serve him well. Sean comes from a great family and works as hard in the classroom as he does on the golf course. While he's had success at the Junior level, he also improved quite a bit in the last couple of years and his best golf is still ahead of him."
Carlino attended Hill Park Secondary School in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, before heading to Grand Valley for his freshman campaign.
He was a competitive member of multiple Canadian junior tournaments. He won the GAO Ontario Juvenile Boys' Championship shooting a 54-hole 211 (69-74-68) and the Canadian Junior Boys Inter-Provincial Championship in 2011, and placed third at the GAO Ontario Junior Championship.
Carlino earned a first place finish at the CJGA Kaneff Junior Series at Century Pines with a score of 75, and notched second place finishes at the 2012 Greens & Dreams Junior Invitational with a 54-hole score of 222 (74-75-73) and the MJT Ontario Series at Listowel Golf Club with a 36-hole score orf 147 (76-71).
