TROY – One of the top assistant coaches in the country, Clay Bounds, has been named the new Troy men's golf head coach, Chancellor Jack Hawkins Jr., and Director of
Troy Media Relations Athletics Brent Jones announced Monday afternoon. Bounds takes over the Troy program following four years at West Virginia.
"We are extremely excited to welcome Clay Bounds, his wife Jessica and their three young sons to the Troy Family," Jones said."Clay is widely considered one of the best assistant golf coaches in Division I. He has incredible experience as a golfer competing at a nationally-ranked junior college and in the SEC at Mississippi State. Additionally, he has nine years of successful coaching at Rice and West Virginia.
"One Troy! That statement gets me pumped. My family and I are so excited to join Troy Nation,” Bounds said."It is an honor to be named the next head coach for the men's golf team. I would like to thank Chancellor Hawkins and Athletic Director Brent Jones for believing in me as a coach but more importantly, as a person.
In Bounds' second season at WVU in 2020-21, Goetz became WVU's first-ever individual qualifier for the NCAA Regional Championship. He finished second, just missing a spot in the NCAA Golf Championship. After the season, he became the first WVU golfer to earn All-America honors. Goetz was the stroke-play medalist out of 312 golfers at the 121st U.S. Amateur at Oakmont Country Club, shooting 8-under-par.
Despite the shortened season, he also helped coach WVU to four program records throughout the year. Papineau earned the first record with a program-best 54-hole total of 203 at the Old Town Club Collegiate Invitational before Logan Perkins earned a new 18-hole record-low score at the Florida Gators Invitational. Perkins shot a 62 to finish second overall in the tournament.
