SAN FRANCISCO - Three Bruins were named to the All-Pac-12 teams, as announced by the conference. Hidetoshi Yoshihara earned All-Pac-12 Second Team and Pac-12 All-Freshman Team honors, while junior Tyler Collier and sophomore Cole Madey each picked up All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention accolades.
Yoshihara leads the Bruins in scoring average at 72.0, having posting four Top 10s, including a win at the final event of the regular season, The Maxwell (April 14-15). The freshman was the lone player under par during the tournament, recording a 1-under 209 thanks in part to a second-round 66 (-4). Yoshihara's other Top 10 showings came at The Hayt (Feb. 24-26), where he finished fourth (-4, 212), the Lamkin San Diego Classic (March 13-14), where he placed T-5 (-5, 211) and the Gifford Collegiate (Nov. 7), where he tied for sixth (-6, 138). He has 10 rounds under par this season and six in the 60s, with his lowest score to par being a 6-under 66 in the second round of the Gifford.
Madey, who was All-Pac-12 Freshman a year ago, is second on the team in scoring average at 72.6, recording three Top 10s and six Top 20 showings. He tied for the lowest Bruin finish at last week's Pac-12 Championships, tying for ninth (+5, 215), shooting a final-round, even-par 70 in cold conditions. Madey also tied for seventh at the Lamkin Classic (-4, 212) and tied for 10th at the season-opening Marquette Intercollegiate (Oct. 2-3, +1, 211). The sophomore has nine under-par rounds and five in the 60s, tying a personal best with a 65 (-5) in the final round of the Western Intercollegiate (April 9).
Collier is third on the team with a 72.9 scoring average, notching three Top 10s and five Top 20 finishes. He also tied for ninth at Pac-12s, shooting even-par 70s in his first and final rounds. Collier also tied for fifth at the Marquette (-1, 209) and tied for seventh at The Hayt (E, 216). The junior has five under-par rounds and three in the 60s, posting a 5-under 67 at The Hayt (second round) and a 68-69 start at the Marquette.
All three Bruins will be taking part in next week's NCAA Regionals (May 15-17). Collier will be at the Middle Tennessee Regional at The Grove in College Grove, Tenn., while Madey and Yoshihara will participate at the Washington Regional at the Aldarra Golf Club in Sammamish, Wash. The low individual at each Regional not on the five NCAA Championship qualifying teams will advance to the finals at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill. (May 26-31).
