LINEUP AT A GLANCE
The Cal lineup will be anchored by three Golden Bears – Charlie Berridge, Ziqin (Eric) Zhou and Wenliang Xie – who tied for ninth at the Arizona Thunderbirds Intercollegiate last week. Freshman Kai Hirayama is also back in the lineup for the second straight tournament after earning a 21st-place finish in Tucson, while Sihao Cong will play for the fourth time this spring. All six Bears in competition this week, including individual Matthew Miyamoto, will be playing in The Goodwin for the first time in their collegiate careers.
 
MOMENTUM BUILDER
The Bears placed fourth at the Arizona Thunderbirds Intercollegiate last week, marking their best finish since mid-October. Cal ended the two-day tournament at 11-over-par 875 after entering the final round at 3-under and just two shots behind eventual champion Arizona. The Bears will look to build off the effort at both The Goodwin this week as well as the Western Intercollegiate on April 14-16 at Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz before shifting focus to the ACC Championship on April 24-28.
 
FALL IN REVIEW
The Bears competed in four stroke-play events during the Fall, earning three straight top-four finishes – fourth at The Tindall, fourth at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational and third at the Pacific Invitational – before ending the slate with an 11th-place effort at the Preserve Golf Club Collegiate. Four Bears finished 11th or better individually throughout the fall, including two top-six finishes by Heo, who was one of Cal's top performers in the four stroke-play events.
 
LEADING THE CHARGE
The Bears have laid the building blocks for a successful future in their first season under Alex and Marie Shipman Director of Men's Golf Michael Wilson, who was hired to the position on July 22, 2024. Wilson, a 2007 alumnus and key member of Cal's 2004 NCAA Men's Golf Championship team, returned to Berkeley most recently following two successful seasons at the helm of Colorado State's program (2022-24), having led the Rams to back-to-back NCAA Regional appearances and a 2023 NCAA Championship berth. He's in his eighth season as a Division I head coach.
 
NEW ERA TEED UP FOR CAL GOLF
