Dean Robertson’s college prize ‘out of blue’
Robertson received his prize “out of the blue” at the opening ceremony for The Prestige Intercollegiate Invitational at PGA West at La Quinta in California, where Stirling are competing this week against 11 top US teams.
“I was extremely moved, lost for words and honoured to have received such a magnificent award,” said Robertson, Stirling’s high performance coach, after succeeding Mike Watney, uncle of PGA Tour player Nick and the now retired long-time Fresno State coach on the roll of honour.
