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.
