All things considered, 2021 was a season of growth for Cal men’s golf, which flaunted a largely underclass roster for its six-event spring campaign. While the team didn’t garner the most outstanding results, it touched on its goal this season to develop as a group.
Senior captain Finigan Tilly will be the sole member of the team graduating this year. While his future is uncertain with Cal men’s golf due to technical circumstances, there is no doubt that he has imparted the wisdom of a seasoned veteran onto his younger teammates this season. But being the only senior on a college team brings a new set of pressures, which Tilly had to adapt to throughout the campaign.

There’s a certain bittersweetness associated with achieving significant progress at the end of any sport’s season. With a particularly young roster, however, Cal men’s golf is feeling the sweetness more than the bitterness as the team approaches its final regular-season event.
After an exceptional performance at the Western Intercollegiate Tournament landed senior Finigan Tilly in the top 10 individually and the Bears in the top half of the field as a team for the first time all season, Cal men’s golf seeks closure as it hosts the Pac-12 Championships at Mayacama Golf Club in Santa Rosa.

All things considered, golf has been accessible to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even as parks remove rims from basketball hoops and goals from soccer fields, golfers have only had to remove rakes from bunkers and ban pulling the flagstick from the hole.
But as for team golf? Well, that’s a whole different story.
As the Bears found out during the Southwestern Invitational a three-day, 12-team, 54-hole event hosted by Pepperdine from Jan. 25-27 despite the relatively modest adjustments to the game, returning to a team format brought challenges the squad had not faced since March of last year.
