Bulldog Notes:
- Fresno State is coming off a ninth-place finish at the Desert Mountain Intercollegiate last week in Scottsdale, Ariz.
- Lane Pulliam was the Bulldogs' top finisher as the freshman concluded the tournament in a tie for 23rd out of 69 individuals. Pulliam's best previous finish was 27th place overall.
- After his strong showing at the Desert Mountain Intercollegiate, Pulliam moves up into the No. 2 spot in the 'Dogs lineup.
- Another freshman in Kevin Huff was second on the 'Dogs leaderboard. Huff finished in a tie for 31st which was also his best finish of the 2017-18 season.
- After not qualifying for Fresno State's first three tournaments, Kevin Huff has cracked the Bulldog lineup five straight times.
- This tournament marks the sixth in a row in which three freshmen are in the 'Dogs lineup.
- Cody Riecks is back in the Fresno State lineup for the first time since the Alister Mackenzie Invitational back on Oct. 10-11. The redshirt junior owns a 72.88 scoring average in three tournaments this season, which ranks second on the team, albeit a small sample size.
- Alex Lee still leads Fresno State in scoring average at 72.61 and has holed a team-high 82 birdies.
- The weather forecast is scheduled to bring partly cloudy skies with temperatures reaching the low 60s on Monday. On Tuesday, the temperature will dip into the 50s while rain is likely.
