Big West Men’s Golf
LA JOLLA, Calif. – Nathan Tseng of the UC San Diego men’s golf team has been selected as the Big West Golfer of the Month for October/November by the conference’s head coaches.
A senior, Tseng earned his first collegiate win at the Pearl at Kalauao Invitational, hosted by the University of Hawai’i on Oahu. He also placed 13th at the Pacific Invitational, hosted by the University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif.
In Hawai’i, Tseng shot three rounds in the 60s (69-69-68) to finish with a 10-under par 206 and top the 108-player field. His performance led the Tritons to a second-place finish at the 18-team event. He carded 18 birdies, the most of any player, with six in each round. His 3.87 stroke average on par-4 holes was the second-best in the field.
In Stockton, Tseng was 13th of 96 players. He shot 5-under par to help UC San Diego place fourth of 17 teams.
Tseng is the second-ever Triton to win Big West Golfer of the Month accolads. Teammate and classmate Davis McDowell earned the honor in September.
Now finished with its fall season competition, UC San Diego will return to action at the Lake Las Vegas Invitational, Feb. 23-25 at the Reflection Bay Golf Club in Las Vegas.
