Washington Wraps Up Regular Season at Western Intercollegiate
April 06, 2018 | Men's Golf
SAN FRANCISCO --- The University of Washington's men's golf team closes out the regular season this weekend, traveling back to the Bay area to take part in the 72nd Western Intercollegiate in Santa Cruz. The Huskies are one of 15 teams at one of the oldest collegiate tournaments on the West Coast which runs Saturday and Sunday the Pasatiempo Golf Club (Par 70, 6,615 yards). The teams will play 36 holes on Saturday and conclude with 18 holes on Sunday beginning at 8:30 a.m. both days.
The Western Intercollegiate has a bit of a different setup than a normal tournament, featuring six golfers from each team with the best five scores counting. (Normally, teams consist of five golfers with four scores counting.) Last season, there were five hole-in-ones at the tournament including one by Washington's Daniel List on the 8th hole. It is believed to be the most hole-in-ones ever at a sanctioned collegiate tournament.
THE FIELD (GolfStat Top 100 Rankings): Arizona (#33), California (#9), Colorado State (#42), Hawaii, North Carolina (#20), Oregon (#25), Pepperdine (#32), San Diego State (#50), San Jose State, Southern California (#21), Stanford (#18), Texas (#14), UC Irvine, UTEP (#80), Washington (#66).
THE LINEUP: The Huskies lineup features junior Carl Yuan at No. 1, sophomore Henry Lee at No. 2, freshman Noah Woolsey at No. 3, senior Frank Garber at No. 4, sophomore Shamu Bodhidatta at No. 5 and junior William Mansfield at No. 6. Mansfield will be making his third appearance of the season for the Huskies after joining the team in November.
LAST TIME OUT: Carl Yuan and Noah Woolsey finished tied for 32nd to pace to a 14th-place finish among 26 teams at The Goodwin at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco.
The Huskies struggled in the final round of the tournament, posting a 10-over 294 on the final day of the competition to finish at 15-over 867 (283-290-294). UW opened with a 1-under 283, but had a 6-over 290 in the second round.
Yuan had his best round of the tournament on Saturday, posting a 2-under 69 to finish tied for 32nd at 1-over 214 (71-74-69). The junior got off to a bit of a rough start, with a pair of bogeys over the first eight holes. But he birdied nine and added three more on the back nine to finish at 2-under.
Woolsey finished tied with Yuan at 1-over 214 (68-73-73) after his second-consecutive round of 73. The freshman had four bogeys and two birdies over the final round.
FALL SEASON: Washington had to fight through weather issues through the first two tournaments, seeing its first tournament in South Carolina cancelled and its second tournament in Ohio shortened due to rain. The Huskies finished in the top five twice, posting a fifth-place finish at the Inverness Intercollegiate and taking second at the William H. Tucker Invitational in New Mexico. UW had a busy month of October, closing out the fall with 12th place finishes at the Nike Collegiate Invitational and the Alister Mackenzie before posting a 10th place finish at the Warrior Wave Invitational.
YUAN COMPETES IN 2018 GENESIS OPEN COLLEGE SHOWCASE: Junior Carl Yuan was one of six collegiate golfers selected to participate in the 2018 Genesis Open College showcase at the Riviera Country Club on February 12. Yuan, who was partnered with PGA Pro and UW Alum C.T. Pan along with a pair of UW boosters, finished tied for fifth with a 75, just one shot behind three golfers who tied for second. The 18-hole competition allowed the winner a berth in the Genesis Open.
ASIA-PACIFIC CHAMPIONSHIPS: Junior Carl Yuan finished third at the 2017 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, carding a final-round 3-under 68 including birdies on the final two holes to finish in a tie for third place at 7-under 277. After a rough first round 74, Yuan slowly worked his way back up the leaderboard with three rounds in the 60s including a second-round 66. It was Yuan's third trip to the Asia-Pacific Championship and third top-20 finish. He placed 20th overall in 2014, the season before arriving at UW. Last season, he used another late run to place ninth overall.
YUAN RANKED 16TH IN ARNOLD PALMER CUP RANKINGS: Junior Carl Yuan is ranked No. 16 in the Team International Men's standings for the 2018 Arnold Palmer Cup in the penultimate spring rankings released in early March. The top six golfers from the final ranking in the spring from both the United States and International men and women—12 total golfers—are among the 24 individuals selected to compete in the Arnold Palmer Cup July 6-8 at the Evian Resort Golf Club.
HUSKIES ADD THREE ON NATIONAL SIGNING DAY: Head Coach Alan Murray announced the signing of a trio of talented golfers to National Letters of Intent, adding Paul Margolis, Nicolas Schellong and Padraic Sim to the squad in 2018-19.
LAST SEASON AWARDS: The Huskies had a pair of standouts, including one returner, last season in Corey Pereira and Carl Yuan who both earned PING All-West Region Honors. Yuan was also an All-Pac-12 Second Team honoree and led the team a year ago with 71.57 scoring average. He posted six top 20, two top-10 and one top-five finish during his sophomore campaign and also led the Dawgs at the Pac-12 Championships with a tie for fourth place.
LAST SEASON RESULTS: Under the direction of Alan Murray in his first year with the Huskies, Washington ended the 2016-17 season by appearing in the NCAA Regional, posting a seventh place finish at Aldarra Golf Club in Sammamish, Washington.
NEW STAFF: This summer, Washington welcomed Thomas Sutton as an assistant coach for the Dawgs. Murray came to Seattle having spent the last two seasons in the same role at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Sutton is a former men's golf student-athlete at UAB from 2011-14, competing in 47 events throughout his career. UW head coach Alan Murray coached Sutton throughout his career in Birmingham.
