Weir Gets Deserved Call to BYU Hall
The Deseret News Feature Story
Sept. 18, 2003
By Jim Rayburn PROVO, Utah - Mike Weir might bleed Canadian red and have the coveted green jacket in his closet, but it's still Cougar blue in his house. "I really try to follow all the Cougar sports and Cougar athletics as much as I can," Weir said Wednesday night prior to being inducted into the BYU Cougar Club Hall of Fame. The 2003 Masters champion and current Draper resident groomed his competitive swing on the fairways of Riverside Country Club from 1989 to 1992 as a member of the BYU golf team. During his four years in Provo, the Cougars won three straight Western Athletic Conference titles, and Weir finished second individually in the 1990 conference tournament. He also won three individual college tournaments. Weir says his dreams of becoming a player on the PGA Tour were fostered during his days at BYU. "I did dream it but was never sure it would come true," he said. It wasn't until his senior year when Weir first believed that he had PGA Tour potential in him. During that 1992 season he played well in a string of tournaments, finished seventh individually in the NCAA championship and was named second-team All-American.
