RENO, Nev. – Nevada men's golf head coach Jacob Wilner has announced that Michael Sarro has joined the program and is eligible to compete for the 2021 season.
 
"Any time you can get the state champion on your team, that's a pretty good thing," said Wilner. "I'm excited to have a Nevada resident join our program and see what he can do for us this spring."
 
Sarro spent the 2019-20 season at California Baptist before transferring to Nevada for this spring semester. He competed in three events during his time with the Lancers and posted a scoring average of 76.11 in those three events. His best finish of the season was a tie for 45^th place at the Oregon State Invitational where he shot a season-low round of 70.
 
A native of Henderson, Nev., Sarro graduated from Coronado High School in 2019. During his high school career he fired rounds of 71 and 70 to lead his team to back-to-back Nevada 4A State Championships. He also captured the individual 2019 Nevada State High School Championship after making birdie on the first playoff hole of the event. Sarro was named the SCPGA Fall Player of the Year in 2017 and competed as a member of the SoCal All-State team in the same year.
 
Additionally, Sarro claimed victory at the 2020 Nevada State Amateur Championship last summer at Reflection Bay Golf Club in Las Vegas. He shot a 66 in the final round of competition to finish at 12-under par, three shots better than the runner-up.
 
Nevada will open the 2021 season at The Prestige, hosted by UC Davis, Feb. 15-17 at the Greg Norman Course at PGA West in La Quinta, Calif.
