Pohler to play golf for UHV

Posted

Shiner High School graduate Matthew Pohler, a three-sport athlete, has signed a letter of intent to play golf with the University of Houston-Victoria.

Pohler had a very successful senior season for the Comanches earning a berth to the UIL state golf tournament as well as being part of playoff runs by the Shiner basketball and baseball teams.

He made four straight trips to the Region IV-1A golf tournament, finishing third three straight years, before earning his first trip to the state tournament this past year with a second-place finish. After posting rounds of 75-80-155 at the regional tournament, he tied for fourth at the state tournament with a 75-82-157.

This summer in his first seven Southern Texas PGA Junior Tour events he has collected two first-place finishes and finished in the top 10 in each event. He has a 79.78 scoring average with a low round of 73 in those seven events.

On the basketball court this past season he was named the District 28-1A MVP and earned all-state recognition.

“With his length off the tee and his abilities on the course he should definitely be an asset to our team this season,” said UHV golf coach Brian Williamson.
