Amidst a global pandemic in the spring of 2020, BYU golfer Rhett Rasmussen saw what was promising to be an exciting senior season of golf disappear. The Cougars had just come off a fall season that produced two wins and three second place team finishes in eight tournaments.

The team was looking forward to the 2020 Spring season schedule that included prestigious events like The Goodwin, the Western Intercollegiate, their own PING Cougar Classic, the West Coast Conference Championship and a possible NCAA Championship spot.
