Wiles’ favorite golf course is the Crosswater course in Sunriver, Oregon, where the 2013-2014 D2 Golfweek preview was held.

Favorite golfer
“Tiger Woods is definitely my favorite golfer,” Wiles said. “It’s hard to play like him right now, but he’s my hero.”
Interesting fact

Gearhart’s favorite place to play is the Brickyard Crossing Golf Course in Indianapolis, Indiana where his first college tournament was.
Expectations for this season

Favorite golfer
“I’ve always kind of liked Keegan Bradley,” Gearhart said. “He’s not really big anymore, but he’s kind of a tweaker. He’s very fidgety but I really like how he plays.”

Alistair Docherty
Height/Weight
5’10, 155 lbs.
From
Vancouver, Washington
Accomplishments
“Getting back-to-back All-Americans was big for me,” Docherty said. “Also, winning the Conference Championship last year.”
Expectations for this season
“This is it— senior year— and I just want to make sure that I don’t leave anything out there,” Docherty said. “I’m always putting 110 percent into everything I do, preparation at the tournament and making sure I’m getting enough sleep the night before. I always want to make sure I get all my homework done so that I am not stressing about that at the tournament. If I do those things, the results will speak for themselves.”
Favorite golf course
Docherty’s favorite golf course is The Meadows at Grand Valley States University in Grand Rapids, Michigan where the 2014 Nationals were held.
Favorite golfer
“People laugh at me when I say Dustin Johnson, because he had some problems with drugs,” Docherty said. “He’s an all-around athlete, and he’s always staying in shape. He hits the ball a long ways, and I believe I am the longest hitter on our team, so I try and mirror my game after him.”
Interesting fact
“I played hockey for 10 years and I am also from Canada,” Docherty said.
