ABOUT TORREY PINES: Designed by legendary course architect William P. Bell and completed by his son, William F. Bell, Torrey Pines opened in 1957. It offers two 18-hole Championship courses - the North and South courses. Torrey Pines Golf Course sits on the coastal cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean and is recognized as the premier municipal golf course owned and operated by a city. It is named after the Torrey Pine, a rare tree that grows in the wild only along this local stretch of the coastline in San Diego County and on Santa Rosa Island. Torrey Pines was the site of perhaps the most memorable modern day U.S. Open Championship, when in 2008, under the typically brutal conditions of this major tournament, injured and hobbling Tiger Woods defeated Rocco Mediate during their sudden death playoff after 90 grueling holes of exciting golf. It also hosted the 2021 U.S. Open, won by Jon Rahm.
LAST TIME AT THE UCSD INVITATIONAL: Carson Baker led the Air Force golf team at the 2025 UC San Diego Invitational, March 23-25, at Torrey Pines south course in La Jolla, Calif. Baker tied for 24th among the 111 golfers with a 54-hole score of 226 (+10). Eli Huntington shot a 229, followed by Brooks Morrell (237) and Eric Liveringhouse (241). New Mexico State, the highest-ranked team in the field, rallied in the final round to win the tournament. NMSU shot a 283 in the final round for a 54-hole score of 885 (+21), two shots better than Arkansas State. UC Irvine was third at 891. Air Force shot its best round of the tournament in the final round with a 300. The Falcons placed 15th at 922.
LOOKING AT THE FALCONS: Four Falcons have played all 21 team rounds this season. Eli Huntington leads the team with a 75.05 season stroke average.
