Bailey on Cervantes (Nov. 2023): "Vinny has built a resume that ranks him as one of the top juniors in the world, and he will immediately elevate our program. It's tough to win in golf and Vinny has done it at a high rate. Those experiences will be invaluable as he transitions to the collegiate level. His golf highlights speak for themselves, but equally as valuable are his strong character and family values."
