Cal Bears Set Sights on The Goodwin at Harding Park

The California menā€™s golf team will stay close to home when it competes in The Goodwin on Thursday through Saturday in San Francisco. The three-day, 54-hole tournament is hosted annually by Stanford and will be played at the prestigious TPC Harding Park, the host of the 2020 PGA Championship.

Ā Cal, which has played just once since the start of March, enters The Goodwin ranked 57th and 58th nationally by Golfweek and Golfstat, respectively. The Golden Bears own the ninth-best national ranking among the tournamentā€™s 28-team field. Sampson Zheng ā€“ who is averaging 70 strokes per round and owns five top-20 finishes in six events played this season ā€“ will look to pace a group of seven Bears competing in The Goodwin, including Simon Kwon, Aaron Du, Nathan Wang and Daniel Heo. Both Costas Panay and Papon Sawatyanon will compete as individuals.

Ā The Bears will start round one on hole 10 between 1:05-1:53 p.m. on Thursday and round two on hole 1 between 8-8:48 a.m. on Friday. The first two rounds will be played alongside Colorado, San Diego and SMU.

The Goodwin is one of three remaining tournaments on Calā€™s schedule before focus shifts to postseason play at the Pac-12 Championships.
