FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State's men's golf squad returns to action at the always tough Ping Cougar Classic hosted by BYU at the Riverside Country Club in Provo, Utah. BYU won the Fresno State Lexus Classic in March so the Dogs are looking to return the favor on the Cougar's home course. Fresno State won this event in 2005 with a tournament scoring record of 44-under par. Bulldog Mark Modglin (66-64-72--202) won the individual title that year and the Dogs took the top three spots. Nick Watney shot 10-under par in 2002 to win the 36-hole Cougar Classic in 2002.

Patel's Pace
Sophomore Bhavik Patel has a scoring average of 71.21, which would rank as the third best for a season in Bulldog history if he doesn't play another round. With at least two tournaments left in the season and a probable appearance in the NCAA hampionships, Patel can continue to climb the charts. PGA Tour star Nick Watney owned the top three Bulldog season scoring averages heading into this season.
