Grier Jones

Head Coach, 21st season

Wichita native Grier Jones is in his 21st

season as head coach of the Wichita

State men’s golf program.

In October 2010, the Kansas Sports

Hall of Fame inducted Jones not only

for his impressive coaching resume at

Wichita State but also for his significant

accomplishments as a player.

Jones molded WSU into the top golf

program when the Shockers competed

in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Now entering the second season in the American Athletic Conference,

Jones left the MVC having won 15 of the last 18 Valley titles (1999, 2000,

2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014,

2015, 2017). He has led the Shockers to 13 NCAA Regional appearances

(2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014,

2015, 2017), advancing twice to the NCAA Championship following

WSU’s 10th place team finish in 2003 and an eighth place team finish in

2004.

He has captured the MVC Coach of the Year award in nine of the past 10

seasons and 13 times overall (1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009,

2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017). His players have reached All-

MVC status 60 times and have earned eight of the ten MVC Golfer of the

Year awards since its inception in 2007.

In May 2007, Jones was the lone coach named to the Missouri Valley

Conference All-Centennial Team, as were two of his former players (Judd

Easterling and Ryan Spears).

During his 21 seasons coaching Shocker student-athletes on the links,

11 different WSU players have won individual medalist honors at The

Valley Championship: Brad Golden (2000), Nick Underwood (2001), Ty

Cline (2003), Ryan Spears (2006), Connor McHenry (2008), McHenry and

Dustin Garza (2009), Hunter Sparks (2012), Rafael Becker (2013),

Chandler Rusk (2014) and Louis Cohen Boyer (2015).

Jones, a member of the Professional Golfers Association, taught golf at

Willowbend Golf Club in Wichita, while playing part time on the Nike and

PGA Tour. Prior to coaching at WSU, he also was the head golf profes-

sional at Terradyne Country Club in Wichita from 1987-1992 where he

managed the entire golf operation and was active in conducting tourna-

ments and teaching golf.

An All-American at Oklahoma State University, Jones won Big Eight titles

in 1967 and 1968 before taking medalist honors at the 1968 NCAA Cham-

pionships in Las Cruces, New Mexico. He also won the 1966 Kansas State

Amateur Championship held in Topeka, Kan.

A 1964 graduate of Kapaun-Mount Carmel High School, Jones played

both football and golf for the Crusaders, winning the 1963 and 1964

Kansas State High School golf championships prior to beginning his col-

legiate golf career at Oklahoma State.

JuddEasterlingAssociate Head Coach, 3rd Season

Judd Easterling enters his third season as an

assistant coach at Wichita State. A Shocker

golf standout from 2002-2005, Easterling

returns to Wichita after a number of years

coaching in the SEC and Pac-12. In his first

season as assistant to his former head coach

Grier Jones, Easterling helped the Shockers

reclaim the Missouri Valley Conference

championship in the school's final year in

the conference.

Easterling helped coach MVC Golfer of the Year and All-

Conference selection Yannik Emmert as well as All-Con-

ference selection Grant Bennett. The Shockers finished

the 2016-17 season at the NCAA Regional site in Austin,

Texas, where they finished in 13th position.

Easterling spent a year in the Pac-12 as an assistant

coach to the men’s and then the women’s golf teams

at Arizona State University from 2015-2016 under Tim

Mickleson and Missy Kaye-Farr. Before that he spent

two years as the assistant golf coach at the University of

Missouri under Mark Leroux from 2013-2015.

As an athlete at Wichita State, Easterling played all four

years under Grier Jones earning five individual career

collegiate victories. As a three year captain, Easterling

earned numerous accolades including being named a

two time All-American, four time All-Conference, two

time All-Academic and nine time MVC Golfer of the

Week.

Easterling’s stellar playing career at Wichita State culmi-

nated in being named to the MVC All-Centennial Team,

which highlights exceptional golf athletes from 1908-

2007. Easterling also qualified for three NCAA National

Championships as a Shocker (2003, 2004, 2005), finish-

ing 10th in 2004.

As an amateur Easterling made two U.S. Amateur ap-

pearances, was a Kansas Amateur quarterfinalist in

2003, named the 2003 Phil Cotton Champion and a

Porto Cima Four Ball Champion. As a professional he

played in five events in the Adams Tight Lies Tour (2004,

2005) and qualified for the second stage of the PGA Tour

Qualifying tournament in 2005.

Wichita State reclaimed its Missouri Valley Conference crown in 2017 and left their old league as champions behind a stellar team performance that saw four of the ve man team nish inside the top 10 individually. The victory gave the Shockers their 21st MVC Championship overall and 15th tle in the past 21 seasons.

Facing an inaugural season in the American Athletic Conference, the Shockers faced a plethera of new rivals when the conference tournament rolls around in the spring, most of which they have historically never competed against. The Shockers took 10th in their first championship appearance and had three players finish in the top 40.

The Shockers will have plenty of talent to build their program on for the years to come, having three freshman and two sophomores making tournament debuts in 2018-19. With the leadership of Jones and Easterling, Wichita State has built their reputation behind the skill sets of their youngest players.

LEAVING ON A HIGH NOTE

NEW HORIZONS

FRESH FACES

Once again, Wichita State chose to challenge themselves during the season in order to prepare for the competitive conference tournament in April. The Shockers will see five teams that participated in the 2018 NCAA Championships during the season, starting this stretch against Kansas in The Jackrabbit. Adding three new tournaments to their schedule, the Shockers will see 2018 NCAA Championship participants Illinois and Kent State in Lousiana in February.

Gage Ihrig made his mark during his final season in a Shocker polo in 2018. The Goodland, Kan. native had one top-10 and three top-20 finishes in the 2017-18 season. He capped his career off with his second-highest finish of the season, being tied for 15th in the Wichita State's innagural appearance in the American Athletic Conference Championship.

The Shockers return two seniors who will be vital to the success of the program. Senior Yannik Emmert led Wichita State in every statistical category in 2017 en-route to winning Missouri Valley Confer-ence Golfer of the Year and all-conference honors. Adrien Michellod is coming off his best performance from the 2017-18 season after finishing the year with a stroke average of 75 and placing 23rd in the American Athletic Conference Championship.
