A Kent State men's golfer completes a full follow-through on a tee shot, his arms extended high above his head and his back turned to the camera as he watches the ball travel down the fairway. The golfer wears a navy blue quarter-zip pullover, khaki shorts, white socks, and white and blue golf shoes with a navy cap. The ball is visible in the lower left of the frame, just off the tee box. A wide, sun-lit fairway stretches ahead with trees lining both sides and a partly cloudy sky above. Several other golfers are visible in the distant background. The Kent State, Ohio Lightning Bolt, and Under Armour logos appear in the bottom right corner.
