MacDonald will undoubtedly provide c
valuable leadership during the period. F
"George is pretty much the cheerleader of v
the team and a very hard worker," Foster
noted. "He leads by example. Some guys ^
build excuses to fall back on, but Mac- .
Donald is a good leader and a great competitor
because he absolutely refuses to

compounded the USC golf program's suc?
ess over the weekend when he earned his
PGA tour card in Hunstville, Ala. ?

Foster. "His game has really come around,
and he's a habitual worker. j
"His confidence is strong, but he doesn't 1
have any illusions of grandeur," Foster (

for Steve." t
