Cal's History At The Goodwin
- Cal played at The Goodwin last season for the first time since April of 2010 when the event was still known as the U.S. Intercollegiate. The event was renamed in honor of former longtime Stanford men's golf head coach Wally Goodwin in 2014. The 2018 event was held at TPC Harding Park but returns to a renovated Stanford Golf Course in 2019. Cal finished second in 2018 three strokes behind winner Oklahoma with Sebastian Crampton's third-place finish leading the way while Collin Morikawa tied for fifth.
