In 2003, he caddied for then 13-year old amateur ladies golfing sensation Michelle Wie for one tournament while Furyk was off due to injury. The Ryder Cup in 2012 Ryder Cup/2012 was Cowan's eleventh, carrying for four different players; Jacobsen, Fred Couples, Woods, and Furyk.

Goaltending was solid throughout the game and after the first period we started playing hockey like we were capable.

The first period, we were not very good. It was our worst period of hockey in a while. The second period we turned it around and the goal we did get was a short-handed goal.

We just beat the defending state champs. They did it to us last year.

We came out strong in the first period and scored three power-play goals on the night. We move the puck really well.

We played quite well and could have scored more but their goalie was outstanding. We had a shutout so our defense was strong.

We got some good goaltending, including the breakaway. Katie got out of her slump.

This is a huge win for the Wildcats. These girls are a very competitive group of young athletes who have tasted victory and hate to lose.

It was key that we came back and scored right away. All of a sudden we gave up that short-handed goal. Luckily, we weren't down very long.

We were pretty rusty. It's the fourth straight game the other team scored first but at least we came back in the first.
