STANFORD, Calif. — With the Western Intercollegiate of two weeks prior now a distant memory, the Washington men’s golf team is poised to defend its conference reign at the Pac-12 Championships at Stanford Golf Course this Friday-Sunday, April 28-30.
Washington hosted last year’s conference championships at Aldarra Golf Club in Sammamish, Wash., where the Huskies secured the team title and Noah Woolsey claimed the individual crown.

The twelve teams will compete over 72 holes during a period of three days from April 28-30. The opening round will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Friday, and round two will unfold in the afternoon. Round three follows on Saturday, and a fourth and final round will take place Sunday.
