Cal Junior Brandon Hagy, a regular amateurgolf.com player, will compete in one of the world's most prestigious event in January
Hagy was a key component for a Cal team that finished the fall as the top-ranked club in all three major national polls – Golf World/Nike Golf, Golfweek and Golfstat. After winning or sharing the title in each of their five fall events for the first time in school history, Cal is already within one victory of the school- record six events won by the 2011-12 team. Dating back through the entire 2011-12 season, Cal has won 11 of its last 19 events and finished in the top five in all 19. The Golden Bears reached the NCAA semifinals a year ago after winning their first Pac-12 Championship and NCAA Regional team titles along the way.
Hagy’s stroke average of 70.9 over the five events during the fall of 2012 was second on the team only to Michael Kim, who finished the fall as the nation’s second-ranked player according to Golfweek and a member of the midseason watch list for the Haskins Award honoring the top player in men’s collegiate golf. Hagy’s fall was highlighted with his first career victory at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational (64-62-72 – 198, -15). His tournament total and second-round nine-under par 62 at the MacKenzie were both the lowest scores by a Cal golfer during the fall. He also had a pair of other top-10 finishes, taking fourth at the Gopher Invitational (66-75-75 – 216, E) and tying for ninth at the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational (73-73-73 – 219, +3).
Hagy finished the fall ranked No. 11 nationally with a 69.23 rating according to Golfweek. Cal will return to action January 28-29 for the first tournament of the spring portion of its 2012-13 schedule with the Arizona Intercollegiate at Arizona National in Tucson.
