"I love the Pac-12 Championships and this year it is being held at one of the premier golf clubs in the west, Aldarra. The tournament will feature some of the best collegiate golfers in the country and our team is excited to jump back into action. Aldarra is a hard golf course that will test every facet of our game and we look forward to that challenge. The weather is expected to be cold and rainy, so we look forward to battling the elements as well."
