SAN DIEGO - Senior John Lepak capped off a remarkable comeback to competitive golf as he propelled the Aztecs to the team title by sharing co-medalist honors at the Barona Collegiate Cup. Lepak, who won the 2001 MWC tournament's individual title despite playing through a back injury, missed all of last season rehabbing the injury and did not swing a golf club for seven months.
His amazing comeback was fully documented in a feature story by the San Diego Union-Tribune's Tod Leonard. A link to the story can be found below.
