Coy Papachek

Cobber senior golfer Coy Papachek took a huge step over the summer as he lost in the quarterfinals of the prestigious Pine-to-Palm tournament on the 18th hole to eventual champion Ben Welle. Along the way Papachek defeated Ohio State junior golfer Max Rosenthal in a thrilling 23-hole sudden death classic.

Papachek will be looking to bookend his career at Concordia by upping the stellar freshman season he had in 2011-12. He was named the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) All-Region Team and also carried away Central Region Freshman of the Year honors.

Papchek won a pair of meets in his first year in maroon and gold including the prestigious Twin Cities Classic.
