FULLERTON, Calif. – After posting a season-best seventh place finish at the Redhawk Invitational in Washington on Tuesday, the Cal State Fullerton men's golf team looks to continue the momentum in El Macero, Calif., to compete at the El Macero Classic as one of nine teams participating in the three-day tournament at the El Macero Country Club hosted by UC Davis on Friday-Sunday.

THE COURSE: The three-day event will be contested at the El Macero Country Club, playing at 6,912 yards from the tournament tees and par 72 for the 54-hole event. Play begins at 7:20 a.m. on Friday for the first round, continuing with a start on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. for the second round, and will conclude Sunday for the final 18-holes at 7:00 a.m.

El Macero has served as a qualifying spot for several USGA events over the years, while numerous notable PGA Tour players that have played in tournaments at the course include Byron Nelson, Peter Jacobsen, Tiger Woods, and Nick Watney. El Macero is a quick 12-minute drive from downtown Sacramento, and when serving as the Governor of California, Ronald Reagan used to enjoy the golf experience in between government meetings.

A LOOK AT THE TITANS: The Titans carded nine top-five finishes last season, while returning a pair of student-athletes that were in the lineup for the 2014 Big West Conference Championships. Ryan Tetrault garnered All-Big West First Team honors after carding six top-10 finishes in 2013-14. Kyle De Silva also returns for his sophomore campaign after earning valuable postseason experience at the Sugar Grove Regionals in Sugar Grove, Ill. De Silva participated in 11 of 12 events last season.

The Titans will have to replace Mark Anguiano, Corey Gard and Scott Rubzin, but welcome in five newcomers to the fold this season in freshman Michael Alvarez (Pomona, Calif./Coronado HS), Mark Cobey (Woodland, Calif./Jesuit HS), David Stitt (Simi Valley, Calif./Royal HS) and a pair of transfers, Nico Mendoza (Yorba Linda, Calif./Santiago Canyon College) and Marcus Mercado-Kiel(Santa Ana, Calif./Orange Coast College).

THE WRATH OF THE TITANS: After losing in a playoff to Pacific for an NCAA berth in 2012-13, Fullerton responded in a big way in 2013-14 to capture its second consecutive conference championship, and first outright title to earn its first postseason appearance at the Sugar Grove Regionals. The Titans ended their most successful season winning four tournaments (Bill Cullum Invitational, Warrior Princeville Makai Invite, Folino Invitational, Big West Championship) while finishing second in a pair of tournaments (Itani Quality Homes Collegiate, El Macero Classic).
