WASHINGTON – Georgetown University's men's golf team signed a pair of incoming student-athletes to National Letters of Intent, Head Coach Tommy Hunter announced on Friday. Pieter DeGroot and David Rogers will join the Hoyas on the Hilltop beginning in 2019.

"We are very excited that Pieter and David will be joining us next fall here on the Hilltop," Hunter said. "Their success in national level competition has been impressive and will certainly help them as they prepare for Division I golf."

A local product out of Potomac, Maryland, DeGroot attends Gonzaga College High School in the District and was named the 2017 Player of the Year by the Washington Metropolitan Golf Association. He recently placed 11th overall at the 2018 AJGA Princeton/Springdale GC with rounds of 70-72-70 for 2-over par. DeGroot was the medalist at the 2016 AJGA Chantilly in 2016 with rounds of 70-67-73 to finish 3-under par and qualified for the 2016 US Junior AM after a medalist performance at the US Naval Academy qualifier with rounds of 68-71 to finish 3-under par.

Rogers will come to the Nation's Capital from Needham, Massachusetts and Beaver Country Day School. He is currently ranked 75th in the class of the 2019 and 273rd in the Golfweek Junior Boys Rankings. Rogers was a finalist in the 2018 Massachusetts Junior Amateur and qualified for the 2018 US Amateur Four-Ball Championship. He finished sixth overall at the AJGA Junior Golf Hub Championship with rounds of 76-69-74 and shot even par 72-70-68 to place ninth overall at the AJGA Princeton/Springdale GC.

Georgetown graduates two seniors in 2019 and returns nine student-athletes in 2019-20. The Hoyas have won four BIG EAST Championships, including two of the last three in 2016 and 2018.
