GAME NOTES
LAST TIME OUT
UC Riverside finished 15th at the Nick Watney Invitational. Bahram Talle finished first on the team overall, carding a 73-77-77=227 over the 72 holes. Talle's three-round total of 227 was the lowest of his UC Riverside career. Talle's nine birdies were tied for seventh most of the invitational. Brandon Tsujimoto's 36 pars over the 72 holes were tied for eighth most of the tournament.Â
NEXT UP
UC Riverside will travel to Stockton, California for the Pacific Invitational from Thursday-Saturday, October 26-28.
CHAMPIONSHIP RUNS
The UC Riverside Men's Golf Team won the 2015-16 Big West Championship, building a six-stroke lead heading into the final round to hold off second-place Cal Poly. The Highlanders went on to a three-stroke victory, taking home their first conference championship since 2005 (story).
BACK FOR THE ATTACK!
UC Riverside returns three of its top five golfers from a year ago: Andrew Spilman (74.6), Matt Lutz (76.1), and Michael Wong (76.9). They also have Brandon Tsujimoto back in the fold, as the red-shirt senior sat out the 2016-17 campaign with an injury. During his junior season, he finished third on the team in scoring average at 76.9. He finished second on the team at the 2016 Big West Championship, tying for 12th overall by shooting two-over par for the tournament.
GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
The Highlanders graduated three seniors a year ago: Sam Gillis, who led the team with a 73.97 scoring average last season, and ranks third on UC Riverside's career scoring average list at 73.63; Pachara Sakulyong who ranked fifth on the team in scoring average at 78.52; and Andrew Bradley who ranked sixth at 79.83.
QUICK OUT OF THE GATES
UC Riverside won its first tournament of the 2016-17 season, beating out Texas Tio Grande Valley, Menlo College and host CSU Bakersfield to take the Roadrunner Invitational from September 19-20—the first regular-season tournament victory for the Highlanders under Coach Todd.
IN THE INDUSTRY
The Big West Conference Championship heads to Industry, California and the Industry Hills Golf Club this season from Sunday, April 29 through Tuesday, May 1.
