As the season comes to a close, the Washington State men’s golf team has one last opportunity to put its best foot forward against premier competition.

The Cougars take a trip to Marana, Ariz. today to compete in the Pac-12 Conference Men’s Golf Championships hosted by Arizona.     

“The Pac-12 Championship is one of the premier collegiate golf tournaments in the country,” said Head Coach Garrett Clegg in a press release. “The caliber of competition will be phenomenal. I am excited for our team.”

Clegg will play his primary squad of senior Blake Snyder, juniors Michael Anderson and Charlie Mroz, redshirt juniors Sang Lee and Alex Wagner, and freshman Nick Mandell.

Anderson is making a return to his home state and Clegg said he looks forward to the junior playing well over the weekend.

The tournament, a par-72, four-round event, marks the end of a career for Snyder.

“Blake is in his last collegiate tournament for the Cougars and is looking to finish his career here on a high note,” Clegg said.

On the flip side, the team’s appearance in the 55^th annual conference tournament at The Gallery Golf Club is a first for two of the Cougars.

“Nick Mandell has been coming a long ways this spring and as our lone freshman will have some jitters, but I anticipate that he will make a large impact on our team this week,” Clegg said. “This will also be Charlie’s first Pac-12 Championship. In all of our best team finishes Charlie has come up big for us this spring. He has truly been our most consistent performer over the past three months, and I am confident that he can have a good week in Tucson.”
