Pirate Recruits: Ryan Knapp

By Tony Lee On Wednesday, August 05, 2009
Because Ryan Knapp missed his junior year to play golf at Estancia High School, no colleges seem to want the talented golfer.

"Well I actually didn't get recruited at all because I hurt my wrist in my junior summer," he said. "It's almost like I'm doing [my recruiting process] a year late. Hopefully I'll spend one year at OCC and transfer to a big Division-I program."


But other schools' losses is Orange Coast College's gain. Knapp is one of the most talented golfer in the Newport-Mesa area.

Over the weekend, Knapp finished second at the Costa Mesa City Championship after shooting the tournament's lowest round on Sunday (five-under-par 67).

Besides golf, the over 6-feet tall Knapp likes to play basketball during the weekend down at Newport.

Knapp will be a business major at OCC in the upcoming fall semester.
