ABOUT the COUGARS
Under Dismuke's leadership, Houston will be represented by senior Hudson Weibel, junior Grant Doggett, junior Chi Chun Chen, sophomore Hsuan-Yi Chen and senior Bryan Hiskey II. Freshman Jayk Altic will be available as a reserve.

This season, Weibel leads the Cougars with a 70.55 scoring average and 23 rounds of par or better in 34 total rounds. The Dallas native has won three individual championships in 2025-26 to become the first Cougar to win 3+ titles in a season since Roman Robledo in 2013-14.

Weibel also leads the team with five Top-20 finishes and 13 rounds in the 60s. With his 64 in the First Round of the Augusta Haskins Award Invitational on April 4, he joined Andy Sanders as the only Cougars to record multiple rounds of 65 or lower during their careers.

For this stellar play throughout the season, Weibel was named to the All-Big 12 Conference Second Team in voting by the league's head coaches earlier this month.

Junior Grant Doggett stands second with a 71.82 scoring average and captured the individual title at the Bayou City Collegiate Classic at Westwood Golf Club in Houston on Sept. 29-30. He was one of three Cougars to win individual crowns in 2025-26, joining Weibel and Hiskey.

Junior Chi Chun Chen ranks third among the Cougars with a 71.85 average and is second on the team with 16 rounds of par or lower, including a career-low 64 in the Final Round of the Argent Financial Classic at Squire Creek Country Club in Choudrant, La., on Sept. 9, 2025.

Doggett, Chi Chun Chen and Weibel each will be competing in the second NCAA Regionals of their Houston careers. Hsuan-Yi-Chen, Hiskey and Altic will make their NCAA postseason debuts.
