PULLMAN, Wash. – The Washington State men's golf team will host a fall tournament and travel to Hawaii twice as part of its 2015-16 tournament schedule, WSU Head Coach Garrett Clegg announced Friday.
"I'm really looking forward to getting the season started with this team," Clegg said. "These student-athletes are the future of the program and they've been playing this summer and putting in good performances. Some of our underclassmen are looking to step up and become leaders in this program. We've got an extremely competitive schedule this year - probably the most competitive in the time I've been here."
The Cougars will open their 2015-16 season in Pebble Beach, Calif., at the Saint Mary's Invitational, Sept. 14-16. Teams will compete at the recently-renovated Poppy Hills Golf Course in a 15-team field, 10 of which ranked in the top 100 in the final Golfstat national rankings.

The Cougars will return to Pullman, Sept. 28-29, to host their annual Itani Quality Homes Collegiate at WSU's Palouse Ridge Golf Club.
