ARIZONA STATE HEAD COACH RANDY LEIN SAYS BYRNE AND KENNEGARD ARE TWO OF
HIS BEST EVER SIGNINGS

Arizona State University head golf coach Randy Lein, pictured right with James Byrne, considers his five recent signings to be as good as it gets in the recruitment of top talent.
Coach Lein has added the names of Jesper Kennegard (Stockholm) and Jed Dirksen (Hampton, Iowa) to his three earlier "captures" - James Byrne from Banchory, Scott Pinckney (Anthem, Arizona) and Cameron Edens (Phoenix, Arizona).
"In my 26 years of coaching this is certainly our best recruiting class ever," says Randy, who is in his 15th year as ASU head coach and has been seven times Pac-10 Coach of the Year.
FORMIDABLE FIVE-MAN LINE-UP
"These five guys could make up a formidable five-man line-up on their own. Coach (Mickey) Yokoi and I are extremely pleased with this year's signees."
Kennegard is the 2006 recipient of the Sorenstram Award for Sweden's Junior Player of the Year and a member of Sweden's team for the world boys team championship and the European boys team championship. He was also a member of the Continent of Europe team in the jacques Leglise Trophy match, in which James Byrne (and Lewis Kirton) played for Great Britain & Ireland.
"Jesper brings with him an abundance of international competition experience. He has had much success both as an individual and in representing Sweden in team competitions. He will be a tremendous asset to our Sun Devil team," said coach Lein.
Byrne and Kennegard will enrol at Arizona State University after next summer.
