BOULDER, Colo. - A new season has arrived for the UCLA men's golf team, which is at Boulder Country Club this weekend for the 2017 Pac-12 Conference Championships. The 72-hole tournament will run from Friday through Sunday on the par-70, 7,129-yard layout.
Unlike most regular-season events, the Pac-12s will be a six-scoring-five tournament. The Bruin lineup will consist of juniors Tyler Collier and Corey Shaun, sophomores Phil Delisi, Cole Madey and Patrick Murphy and freshman Hidetoshi Yoshihara. Friday's play will feature 36 holes, followed by 18 on both Saturday and Sunday. Friday's first round will begin at 8:36 a.m. MT/7:36 a.m. PT in the order of Delisi, Shaun, Murphy, Collier, Madey and Yoshihara. The second round will start at approximately 12:45 p.m. MT/11:45 a.m. PT. Live scoring will be available here. Live streaming on Friday and Saturday will be available here.
Yoshihara leads the Bruins in scoring average at 71.7 and is coming off his first collegiate victory at The Maxwell (April 14-15). He overcame an opening-round 73 to post a 4-under 66 in his second round to hold the overnight lead. An even-par 70 in his final round cemented his victory by one shot (-1, 209). Yoshihara has four Top 10s on the season, finishing fourth at The Hayt (Feb. 24-26, -4, 212), tied for fifth at the Lamkin San Diego Classic (March 13-14, -5, 211) and in a tie for sixth at the Gifford Collegiate (Nov. 7, -6, 138). Yoshihara has 10 under-par rounds and six in the 60s. He has a pair of 66s on the season, including a 6-under round in the final round at the Gifford.
Madey is second on the squad with a 72.7 scoring average, recording a pair of Top 10s and five Top 20s. His best showing of the season came at the Lamkin when he tied for seventh (-4, 212), shooting rounds of 69-71-72. His top two rounds of the season have come during two of his last three events. Madey tied a career high with a 65 (-5) in the final round of the Western Intercollegiate (April 8-9) and posted a 2-under 68 in the final round of The Goodwin (March 30-April 1). He has nine under-par rounds and five in the 60s.
Collier is right behind Madey at a 73.0 scoring average. He has a pair of Top 10s at the season-opening Marquette Intercollegiate (Oct. 2-3, T-5, -1, 209) and The Hayt (T-7, E, 216). Collier has five under-par rounds and three in the 60s, including a 5-under 67 in the middle round of The Hayt.
Shaun holds a scoring average of 74.8, having recorded one Top 20 in seven events. His best finish of the season came at the Western when he tied for 16th (+4, 214). Three of his first five rounds of the season saw him go under par, including a 4-under 67 in the final round of the Arizona Intercollegiate (Jan. 23-24).
Delisi has a scoring average of 75.6, posting a season-best T-17 finish in his last event, playing as an individual at the Cal Poly Shootout (April 17-18). He shot a 1-over 217, which featured his lone under-par round of the year, a 1-under 71 in his middle round.
Murphy (75.9) also had his best finish of the season as an individual at the Arizona Medalist Intercollegiate (Jan. 22-23) when he tied for 16th (+20, 233). He has one under-par round on the season, which came in the middle round of the Marquette Intercollegiate (-1, 69).
The Bruins have four Top Five showings on the season, including a T-5 in the last event of the regular season, The Maxwell. UCLA was also third at the Marquette Intercollegiate, the Cypress Point Classic (match play) and the Gifford Collegiate (stroke play).
UCLA has won five Pac-12 Championships in 1982, 1983, 1985, 2003 and 2006. Individually, six Bruins have earned medalist honors (Pete Lazzlo, 1970; Corey Pavin, 1982; Steve Pate, 1983; Duffy Waldorf, 1985; John Merrick, 2003; Daniel Im, 2006).
