Pono Yanagi is closing in on his final round at Washington State. Throughout the past five years Yanagi has grown as a player, set school records, and helped build the Washington State Men's Golf Program into what it is today. As Yanagi plays in his last tournament as a Coug he inches closer to wrapping up one of the best golf careers in recent WSU Men's Golf history.
Yanagi hails from Hilo, Hawaii where he had been competing in golf tournaments since he was four years old. Naturally, playing collegiate golf was always in the cards for Yanagi but seeing his sister play at the collegiate level made it even more within sight.
