Pac-12 Men’s Golf Championships Arrive
The sun has finally graced us with it’s presence, the smell of spring is in the air, and all other 11 Pac-12 schools have arrived in Corvallis for the inaugural Pac-12 Men’s Golf Championships which will be held locally at Trysting Tree Golf Course this year.
Sitting here this morning I can tell you that the practice rounds for the teams have gotten under way and we are less than 24 hours away from the first tee shot being hit and the tournament beginning.
The favorites to take the team crown this year have to be Oregon, UCLA, Washington, Stanford, Cal, and USC. Oregon comes in to the championships with the most momentum having won their previous tournament, and six on the year.
The Ducks are led by Eugene Wong and Dan Miernicki, the 5th and 18th ranked players in the nation, and have to be two of the favorites for individual champion. Others who will be in the hunt for the title, accompanied by their ranking, could include Patrick Rodgers of Stanford, 3rd, Chris Williams of Washington, 7th, Patrick Cantlay of UCLA, 10th, and Steve Lim of USC, 17th. Other players who could be in the mix include Andrew Yun of Stanford, Cheng-Tsung Pan of Washington, Max Homa of Cal, Alex Moore of Oregon State and Martin Trainer, last year’s champion, of USC.
The tournament runs from Friday April 27 through Sunday the 29th with the first two rounds being played on Friday. Come out, support your teams (especially Beaver Nation), and watch the future stars in the game of golf.
Sunday night on “Sports Action” Jonnie and I will be reviewing the Pac-12 Championships and talking about what we learned throughout the weekend. DON’T MISS IT!
