Sun Devil Men's Golf: The Desimone Invitational

Event description

The Desimone Invitational – March 9-10 (San Francisco, CA)
An elite field makes up the first-ever Desimone Invitational, a new tournament named after California's former legendary men's golf coach. The inaugural event will take place March 9-10 at Lake Merced Golf Club in Daly City and features 15 teams – six of which qualified for last season's NCAA Championship.
 
Desimone coached the Golden Bears for 37 years, taking over a program that had lost varsity status in 1979 and getting it reinstated as an NCAA sport. By the time he retired following the 2015-16 season, Cal had become a sustained power and Desimone was a larger-than-life pillar of college golf, in Berkeley and beyond. His daughter, Kim Nelson (Desimone) was a long-time employee of Sun Devil Athletics.

In the field (15 teams): Arizona, California (host), Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine, San Jose State, SMU, TCU, Texas, UCLA, USC, Utah, Wake Forest, Washington, Washington State
