LAST TIME OUT
UC Irvine won its season-opening tournament, finishing first in a 12-team field at the Oregon State Invitational at Trysting Tree Golf Club, Oct. 7-8. UCI came from behind to defeat the host Beavers by two strokes. It was the Anteaters' first stroke play tournament victory since winning the Big West Championship in 2018. The 'Eaters also won the Cal Poly Match Play Tournament in 2019. JJ Nakao led UC Irvine at 2-under 211 for a career-best fourth-place showing. Jason Tang tied for 12th with an even-par 213, while Jack Yu (75-68-72) and Rei Harashima (74-67-74) tied for 17th at 2-over 215. Owen Davis Piger rounded out UCI's 5-count-4 lineup with a 216 (73-73-70).
READY TO ROLL
Junior Rei Harashima is a two-time All-Big West selection, earning second team honors in 2023-24, and honorable mention recognition in 2022-23. Last year, he finished third at the Big West Championships at 9-under 207 (68-68-71). Sophomore Jason Tang is also coming off a phenomenal freshman campaign. He played in every tournament and was second on the team with a 72.97 average last year. Tang has four career top-20 showings and five sub-70 rounds.
ADDING DEPTH
