March 06, 2020 | Men's Golf
BANDON, Ore – The Washington State men's golf team begins March with a trip down south the Beaver State for the Bandon Dunes Championship hosted by the University of Idaho. The tournament runs from Sunday to Tuesday, March 8-10, at the Pacific Dunes Golf Course. The Cougars will tee-off at 8:30 a.m. PT each day in a shotgun style format.
THE COURSE – The three-round, 54-hole tournament will take place at Pacific Dunes Golf Course and will be played as a par-71 at 6,633 yards.
THE LINEUP – Representing the Cougars will be senior Nicklaus Chiam, freshman Pono Yanagi, senior Daniel Kolar, and freshmen Yuya Eguchi and Tianyu Wu. Senior Scott Redelsperger will be golfing individually.
THE FIELD – The Cougs will play one round per-day, starting on Sunday, March 8. In addition to Washington State, this 16-team tournament will feature top-ranked schools such as No. 12 Washington and No. 21 UCLA. Also competing Bandon will be Idaho, Cal-Baptist, Seattle U, Oregon, Northern Colorado, San Jose State, Oregon State, Kansas, Utah, Fresno State, Seton Hall, Boise State, and Denver.
COACH WHITE ON THE TOURNAMENT – "Bandon Dunes is a great venue and unique style of golf" head coach Dustin White said. "It's something we see only one time a year, but we need to adapt and get it right. We have had success at Pacific Dunes before (finished 3rd in 2018), so it is nice to head back to a place with good vibes. We took a lot away from our last round in Hawai'i and want to continue to build on that this coming week."
LAST TIME OUT- The Cougars last competed at Wailua Golf Course in Lihue Hawai'I for the John Burns Intercollegiate. The Cougars ended their tournament on a high-note, collecting their lowest round of the year as a team. Individually, freshman Pono Yanagi lead the charge for WSU, scoring a top-50 finish in a tough 124-player field. The best round for the Cougars came from senior Daniel Kolar, who made a 4-under 68 in his final 18 holes.
RESULTS –This tournament will be streamed on College Golf TV which can be located here. Live results will be posted on golfstat.com which can be found here. For full recaps of the day's events, visit wsucougars.com at the conclusion of each day.
