UCLA’s Cantlay, Hwang seek to improve at PGA Tour events; Widegren trains with Swedish team

Following a year in which he rose to the top of the world amateur golf rankings, won numerous national honors and shot the lowest score for an amateur at the 2011 US Open, UCLA sophomore Patrick Cantlay faces a seemingly difficult challenge: improving.

For starters, Cantlay will be entering at least two of the PGA Tour’s four major tournaments.

In the first week of April, Cantlay will travel to Augusta, Ga., to join the field for the Masters Tournament.
