WSU Men's Golf Head Coach Dustin White on the Pac-12 Championship
"I think it's going to be a good week. We have four guys in the lineup that have played that course and two who haven't. Those four can coach them up and get them around a bit. Obviously that Pac-12 Championship is really competitive from top to bottom every year. It's really competitive when it comes to golf. With the six golfers we have going (to the Pac-12 Championship), I'd like to think we have a very capable group. I'm excited and they are excited. This is the tournament you prepare for the entire season and it's here. We're ready to go."
