Huskies Head to California for Southwestern Invitational
February 24, 2019 | Men's Golf
SEATTLE โ After almost a full month between events, Washington returns to the golf course for the Southwestern Invitational hosted by Pepperdine University this Monday-Tuesday, Feb. 25-26. The 54-hole event will be played at the par-72, 6,992-yard North Ranch Country Club (Lakes & Oaks courses). Washington will tee off from hole one at 8:20 a.m. alongside San Diego State and San Jose State with 36 holes being played on Monday. The final 18 will take place on Tuesday.ย
THE FIELD:ย Washington will be joined by 11 other teams in Californiaย - Augusta, No. 16 California, George Washington, Loyola Marymount, Oregon State, No. 12 Pepperdine, San Diego State, San Jose State, No. 22 Tennessee, No. 43 UCLA and No. 7 USC.
THE LINEUP:ย The Huskies will playย Paul Margolis, Padraic Sim, Jan Schneider, Henry Lee and Noah Woolsey. Additionally, Shamu Bodhidatta will compete as an individual.
FALL RECAP:ย The Huskies' fall schedule featured a very competitive slate playing on impressive courses across the country against some of the top teams in the nation. After winning the Husky Invitational, Washington went to Fort Worth for the Nike Collegiate Invite which featured nine teams in the top 25. UW then headed to championship course Isleworth Country Club for the Tavistock Collegiate before competing at the Ka'Anapali Collegiate in Hawaii.
ย
NEW ADDITIONS:ย Washington added a pair of signees for next season during the break as Bo Peng and Petr Hruby signed letters of intent. Hruby, from the Czech Republic, has represented his country on numerous occasions and after spending time at Bishop Gates Golf Academy, earned a handful of top finishes at amateur events. Peng comes from Lake Mary, Florida but is originally from Nanjing, China. He posted numerous top finishes on the AGJA circuit and took third at the Future Collegians World Tour in 2017.
HUSKY INVITATIONAL SUCCESS:ย In just its second tournament of the season, Washington took home both the team title and individual crown at the Husky Invitational. The Huskies went 21-over 1086 for a 16-stroke victory after leading all three rounds. Additionally, freshmanย Robert Moranย claimed his first collegiate victory shooting a 1-under 212 for the tournament title. Sophomoreย Noah Woolseyย tied for second while juniorย Henry Leeย tied for ninth.
FRESH ROSTER:ย Also most half of the Huskies roster for 2018-19 will be new to Montlake this season as the Dawgs welcome freshmenย Paul Margolisย (Cannes, France),ย Robert Moranย (Dublin, Ireland),ย Ranveer Grewalย (Ludhiana, Indiana) andย Padraic Simย (Spanish Fort, Alabama). The newcomers bring a wealth of international experience as three come to Seattle from outside of the country.
ย
WHAT'S BACK:ย Juniorย Henry Leeย and sophomoreย Noah Woolseyย were second and third on the team in stroke average a year ago and return to lead the Huskies this season. Lee competed in 13 events including earning a spot at the NCAA Pacific Regional alongsideย Carl Yuan. He averaged a 72.37, posted two top 10 showings with his best being a sixth-place tie while also shooting under par in 15 of his 38 rounds. Woolsey averaged 72.91 in his 12 events and finished in the top two of the lineup for UW in six of those outings.
ย
FALL SCHEDULE:ย Head coachย Alan Murrayย didn't hold back when scheduling the Huskies fall slate as UW will traverse the country and play on some impressive courses against some of the top teams in the country. Along with the first tournament in Minnesota, which featured eight teams that competed at the NCAA Championships a year ago, Washington will play at the Nike Collegiate Invitational at Colonial Country club in Texas and the Tavistock Collegiate at Isleworth Country Club in Florida. After a two-year hiatus, UW returns to hosting the Husky Invitational and welcoming some of the top teams in the region to the Aldarra Golf Club in Sammamish, Sept. 25-26. Closing the season, the team will play at the Royal Ka'anapali course in Hawaii for the first time.
ย
HUSKIES IN THE PROS:ย Washington golf alumni have been very visible on the pro circuits this season with C.T. Pan currently sitting 76thย in the FedEx Cup rankings on the PGA Tour. He's posted two top 10 finishes this season with his best coming at the Wyndham Championship where he tied for second. He also tied for fourth at the Dell Technologies Championship. Alex Prugh again earned his PGA Card after solid showings on the Web.Com Tour while Carly Yuan earned his card on the Web.com Tour this year and opened with a tie for 14thย in his first event. Corey Pereiraย has been strong on the Mackenzie Tour, recently winning his first title on the tour at the ATB Financial Classic.ย Nick Taylor, and eight other former Dawgs are also competing professionally.
