Alex Gentry '20 Recruiting Profile

I have a reputation of being a grinder and consistently working on all aspects of my game (physical, psychological, swing, and course management). I am a team player and a natural leader. I am very coachable and am always working to improve. I make friends easily.  I focused on winning the Missouri Golf Association Junior Tour Player of the Year honor my Freshman year, which delayed playing regional and national tournaments until after my Freshman year. Now that I am playing in regional and national tournaments, my national 2020 JGS ranking is quickly rising (from approximately 1,800 to 125). My goal is to be ranked in the Top 100 in the class of 2020. I am ranked #2 in the State of Missouri (with the goal of being #1). My proudest golf accomplishment to date is qualifying for the 72nd USGA Junior Amateur, defeating an SEC D1 commit in the first playoff hole, and hitting a 300 yard 3W to pin high. I am winding up my junior career at the 48th Southern Junior Championship.

I take school seriously with a 3.61+ unweighted GPA and look forward to studying business (sports management or marketing) in college. My primary career goal is to play professional golf on the PGA. 

I am a Life Scout . I saved a small boy from drowning during the summer of 2017.

I look forward to working to bring an NCAA National Championship to the University of Central Missouri as I continue pursuing my golf career! Go Mules!
