Trevor Werbylo: The confident leader behind the No. 1 team in NCAA men’s golf
The University of Arizona currently has a team ranked No. 1 in the country.

Leading the charge is senior Trevor Werbylo. Werbylo is a hometown kid and graduate of Salpointe Catholic High School. In Arizona’s last tournament, Werbylo finished tied for first place in The Prestige Tournament. A great achievement, but he has his eyes set on a much bigger prize.
