Sun Devil coach Tim Mickelson takes Arizona State to the Pac-12 Championships with weekend in Corvallis, where ASU will play 36 holes on Friday (April 27) followed by 18 on Saturday and Sunday. Coach Mickelson is in his first season with the Sun Devils and his roster is stocked with youth as six of the nine players are freshmen. The Pac-12 Championships mark the return of Mickelson to Corvallis where he concluded his collegiate career at Oregon State. He earned Academic All-Pac-10 honors in 1997 and 1998. At OSU, Mickelson finished second individually at the 2000 Pac- 10 Championships behind Sun Devil Paul Casey. The current holder of numerous OSU golf records, including low 18, 36, 54, and 72-hole scoring records, Mickelson graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Liberal Studies.
VARIETY IS GOOD : ASU became the fifth school to take home the team title since 2004 when it won in 2008 as USC (2007 and 2011), UCLA (2006), Washington (2005, 2009 and 2010) and Arizona (2004) all have taken home a trophy in the past eight tournaments.
ASU'S 2008 PAC-10 TITLE: At the 2008 Pac-10 Championships at The Meadow Club (par-71, 6,686 yards) in Fairfax, Calif., ASU, playing with three freshmen, two sophomores and a senior, captured its eighth Pac-10 title in 16 years under head coach Randy Lein in a one-hole playoff over defending conference champion USC (#2 Golfstat/#3 Golfweek). ASU trailed by 16 to the Trojans after the first round. ASU shot 354-361-356-364 and tied with the Trojans (338-374-357-366) at 15-over par 1,435. The Pac-10 Championship counts the low five scores from the six-man teams.
PAC-10 SUCCESS AT ASU : Arizona State has won 12 Pac-10 titles in its 33 seasons, including a conference record six straight from 1995-2000. In addition to the six straight Pac-10 titles, ASU's other five Pac-10 titles have come in 1979 (its first year in the league), 1981, 1989, 1990, 1993 and 2008. ASU tied for the league title in 2005 with Washington but lost on a tiebreaker formula, and the league decided to go to a playoff format after that season.
SUN DEVILS AS PAC-10 MEDALISTS: Paul Casey won three straight Pac-10 titles from 1998-2000, which is the last time a Sun Devil won the title and is a conference record for consecutive Pac-10 titles. Other Sun Devils who have won the Pac-10 championship are Scott Johnson (1997), Phil Mickelson (1990), co-medalists Dan Forsman and Tony Grimes (1981), Jim Bertoncino (co-medalist in 1980) and co-medalists Scott Watkins and Dan Croonquist (1979).
