LAST YEAR IN PAC-12 MEN'S GOLF: USC claimed the 2011 Pac-10 Men's Golf Championship in extra holes, winning its 19th Conference title, and fourth in the last 11 years. The Trojans shot a four-round total of 15-over 1415 (355-354-353-354) as sophomore Martin Trainer sank a par putt on the 72nd hole to force a team playoff with Oregon. The putt also placed Trainer in a tie with Oregon State's Alex Moore for the individual title as each carded a 5-under 275. The two individuals squared-off for seven holes before Moore relinquished a shot and Trainer grabbed Pac-10 Medalist honors. USC captured the team title as it edged Oregon in the first playoff hole.
The Pac-10 had nine teams earn bids to compete at the 2011 NCAA Men's Golf Championships in one of six regional tournaments. Five teams went on to advance to the NCAA Championships where UCLA earned the No. 1 seed in the eight-team match-play round that determined the NCAA Champion. UCLA freshman Patrick Cantlay, the GCAA National Player of the Year, was the top Pac-10 individual finisher at the NCAA Championships, firing a 4-under 212 (72-69-71) to finish second, one stroke off the lead. Cantlay made a charge in the final round as he birdied No. 17, then nearly forced a playoff as his eagle putt on No. 18 slid right of the cup.
10 YEARS AGO: The last time the conference championship was held in Corvallis (Trysting Tree Golf Club) was 2002 when USC captured the team title and the Beavers finished third. Stanford's Jim Seki earned medalist honors with a 4-under 284.
