PHOENIX – The Pacific men's golf program continues its spring season in Arizona, traveling not too far for the GCU Invitational, hosted by Grand Canyon at GCU Golf Course, Tuesday, March 11 and Wednesday, March 12.

The Tigers are one of 17 teams in the field, joining Arkansas State, Austin Peay State, California Baptist, CSU Fullerton, Canisius, Drake, Grand Canyon, New Mexico State, Northern Colorado, Northern Illinois, UC Riverside, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Thomas, UT Arlington, Valparaiso and Wichita State.

"The team is looking forward to getting back into competition and having a great week!" head coach John Cook said.

Junior Timothy Jung had a solid performance last weekend, leading the Tigers with a one-under-par across the two-day tournament.

Sophomore Carlos Astiazaran, who has been steady for the course of the season, spearheads Pacific's lineup. The Tucson, Arizona native is ranked nationally at No. 96 in the country. Astiazaran has two tournament titles under his belt to this point.

Pacific will round out its lineup with junior Travis Robbie, junior Deitrek Gill and sophomore Justin Bai. Junior Ian Fritz will compete as an individual, marking his fourth appearance of the season.

The tournament will begin with a shotgun start time of 8 a.m. each day with the first two rounds on Tuesday and the third round on Wednesday. Live scoring can be found here.
