For fans, the Bears' 11th place finish at 37-over feels anything but successful.

The Cal women's golf team is hoping for clear skies in Hawaii when it comes to the conditions — and its play.

the Bears started off cold at the Stanford Dual Invitational, going down 14 strokes in the morning round against Stanford and San Jose State.

The Pac-12 Preview set the stage for Cal to prove themselves against some of the top teams in the country, but the Bears once again fell short of a top finish.

Despite a standout performance from Katherine Zhu, Cal finished in the bottom three at the Stanford Invitational, its last tournament before Pac-12 play begins.

Cal men’s and women’s golf combined to take down Stanford in the second annual Big Match at Menlo Country Club in Woodside, California on Wednesday.

Cal was one of six teams in the Pac-12 to participate in the Cougar Cup, where strong play from senior Maria Herraez Galvez lead the Bears to eighth place.

The Bears shot an eight-over 296 as a team Wednesday, which was a four-shot improvement from an underwhelming Tuesday performance.

The Cal women’s golf team is looking to make a statement this week as it makes its 20th straight trip to the NCAA Regionals.

An undeniable boost to team morale, Cal’s success at the Gunrock Classic was much-needed. Going into the tournament as the top-ranked team, the Bears fulfilled their expectations while dissipating any lingering feelings of disappointment from the Bruin Wave Invitational, where they finished 10th out of 15 teams.
