The聽Paul twins of CU聽men鈥檚 golf have聽reunited for a聽final season together聽as Buffs.聽After taking a year聽off from CU to聽evaluate pro possibilities聽at home in聽Germany, 驰补苍苍颈办听笔补耻濒 (Bus鈥�17)聽planned to return聽to campus and rejoin twin brother Jeremy (Mgmt鈥�17)聽as mainstays of the Buffs golf team.聽
Believed to be the first twins to play golf for CU,聽the brothers 鈥� the top-ranked amateurs in Germany聽鈥� started as freshmen in 2013. After his year off, Yannik聽has two years of eligibility; this will be Jeremy鈥檚聽final collegiate season.聽
Before starting their last hurrah in Boulder, the聽brothers got a taste of pro life over the summer and聽made a footnote in sports history: In June they became聽the first twins ever to play in the same European Tour聽event, the BMW International Open in Germany.聽
The twins were the only amateurs in the field,聽which included pros Sergio Garcia of Spain and Sweden鈥檚聽Henrik Stenson, who won the tournament and聽went on to win the British Open.
Jeremy made the cut and finished at 2 over par and聽tied for 56th place. Yannik, who played in the same聽tournament in 2015, missed the cut this year.聽
鈥淚t鈥檚 a testament to Yannik and Jeremy鈥檚 ability,鈥澛燙U golf coach Roy Edwards said of the twins鈥櫬爎ole in the event.聽
The rest of the Buffs golf team also enjoyed an聽overseas jaunt last summer. Edwards and the team聽spent part of June practicing in Ireland while the聽twins were competing in Germany.
