WHITNEY, Texas - Future Texas Wesleyan golfer Kevin Doskocil shot a 75 Thursday afternoon at the White Bluff Resort to qualify for the 35th Annual Texas State Open.

     Doskocil, who has committed to play for Wesleyan this fall, is a native of Hillsboro, Texas. His 75 was three-over par and good enough to tie him for third place in the qualifying tournament. Doskocil's prep record is not too shabby either. He was the Texas 3A UIL state runner-up this spring, playing for Hillsboro High School, and he also finished second in the Starburst Junior Classic this summer.

     "We are very pleased to have Kevin joining the squad this fall," head coach Kevin Millikan said. "He is very talented and a dedicated young man and I expect he will make an immediate impact for us."

     Doskocil is one of only 11 amateurs to qualify for this year's Texas State Open. Approximately 130 players are in this year's field.

     The 2005 Texas State Open will take place July 12-15, at the White Bluff Resort (New Course) in Whitney, Texas. Check back with www.ramsports.net for tournament results.
