Cal Coaches On Jamie Cheatham
“Jamie may be one of the most talented ball strikers in college golf. He’s long, accurate and has great distance control with his irons. Add in that he’s an exceptional putter, and one can see why he’s had the success he’s had. Jamie has become a real student of the game and loves to learn, which adds another element to his continued progress.”
