Washington tied for 5^th at the Southwestern Invitational in January, then looked to continue its strong performance at the Amer Ari Intercollegiate in Waimea, Hawaii early last month, but the event was called off due to inclement weather.
 
“This is our first tournament for what seems like an eternity after us getting cancelled in the wind on the Big Island,” said UW head coach Alan Murray. “We are optimistic about our chances this week if we can do the little things well and we just cannot wait to compete again.”
 
The last time Washington won the Lamkin was in 2015, where the Huskies posted a team score of 10-under par. Leading the Huskies’ effort were C.T. Pan and Corey Pereira, who tied for the individual title with mirroring scores of 8-under.
 
“We have good experience of San Diego Country Club and feel like we know what to expect going down there,” Murray said. “Really challenging golf course that will give you some opportunities to score if you can play well. These guys have looked good in practice and it is a matter of can we bring that on the road.”
 
The San Diego Country Club has hosted many high-profile tournaments in years past, including the U.S. Women’s Open, two U.S. Women’s Amateur Championships, and an event on the PGA Tour.
