HARRISONBURG, Va. - James Madison men's golf signed two players to its class of 2024, Head Coach Carter Cheves announced Thursday afternoon.
Two international golfers – René Bergendi (Slovakia) and Stefan Rojas (Luxembourg and Mexico) – join a JMU roster already full of international flavor, as five current members of the Dukes were born outside the United States.
"We're thrilled to add two high-character guys and incredible players to our roster next fall," Cheves said. "Both René and Stefan have played tournaments at the highest level around the world. Their experience and quality will be great assets to our program."
