On Tuesday, UCLA golfer Patrick Cantlay, who just finished his sophomore year, announced his decision to drop his amateur status and turn pro.
Cantlay’s decision to join the professional ranks and sign with an agent means he will no longer be able to play for UCLA.

“I think this timing makes sense for me, being able to start somewhere where I’m comfortable and I have good memories,” Cantlay said.
