The Beach will get their last tune up before The Big West Championships this weekend

LONG BEACH, Calif. – The Long Beach State Men's Golf team will play in its final regular season tournament at the El Macero Classic hosted by UC Davis in El Macero, Calif. The three-day tournament begins Friday, April 14 and will conclude on Sunday, April 16 at the El Macero Country Club.
 
The Beach are one of 20 teams competing on the 72-par course of 7,127 yards at the El Macero Country Club. In addition to Long Beach State and host UC Davis, the field is also comprised of UC San Diego, Fresno State, San Diego, Idaho, Santa Clara, San Francisco, LMU, Denver, Cal, Cal Poly, Fullerton, GCU, UCLA, North Texas, Seattle, Washington State, Stetson, and Pacific.
 
Long Beach State will send its starting squad of Ian Gilligan, Jaden Huggins, Steven Deutsch, Isaac Rodea, and Jack Cantlay to the green this weekend.
 
The Beach is coming off a tie for fourth place at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic in which they had an incredible final round moving up five spots on the leaderboard on their way to their sixth Top 5 finish of the season. As a team, Long Beach State is ranked 58th by GolfStat.
 
Gilligan has moved up in the GolfStat rankings and comes in at No. 14 after having won the Wyoming Cowboy Classic with a 13-under par showing on the way to capturing his third tournament title of the year. The sophomore has been solid all season boasting a 68.6 stroke average.
 
Huggins looks to continue his solid freshman campaign at El Macero after finishing the Wyoming Cowboy Classic tied for 16th place with an even 216. The Murrieta, Calif., native had an eagle in round one of the tournament, and looks to stay under this week.
 
Deutsch enters the tournament ready to compete after coming off a 7-over par showing at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic last week.
 
Rodea brings experience to the team as the senior looks to bounce back in this upcoming tournament after shooting a final score of 225 for 9-over at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic.
 
Cantlay will round out the Beach's lineup at the tournament, as the freshman has been competitive and a great tool for the Beach this season.
