The Buffs are in Northern California for this season's conference championships, which based on location are, I'm guessing, hosted by Cal this year.
Go Buffs!!!
Note- as seems to be tradition, this conference tourney always has at least one unique aspect. While other tournaments during the year typically have 5 golfers per team competing with the top 4 scores counting towards each round's team totals, the Pac 12's have 6 golfers competing in each round, with the top 5 scores counting. It's also a 4 round tourney (with 2 rounds scheduled for tomorrow) rather than the typical 3 rounds.

Buffaloes Have Improved Throughout the Shortened Season
SANTA ROSA, Calif. — The 61st Annual Pac-12 Conference men's golf championships, the ninth version with 12 schools, begins here Monday, with the Colorado Buffaloes looking for a good finish to improve their resume to secure selection into next month's NCAA Championships.
Arizona State enters as the Pac-12's top team, ranked No. 8 (Golfweek), No. 9 (GolfStat) and No. 10 (GCAA); Arizona is the only other Pac-12 team currently in the top 25 (rankings of 19, 21 and 17, respectively), with Stanford the next most respected (Nos. 32 and 39). It appears it might be down year for the conference nationally, but with a shortened season and some "interesting" scheduling in some conferences, that's likely not the case and the league will have a chance to duplicate the run the men's basketball teams had in the NCAA's. The Buffaloes enter at No. 71 (Golfweek) and No. 80 (GolfStat).
The teams will begin play Monday with 36 holes, followed by 18 each on Tuesday and Wednesday at Mayacama Golf Club, located north of Santa Rosa, Calif., in a secluded 600-acre sanctuary in the heart of the state's Winelands, coined as a "cross between a wine estate and a golf club." The course will sport a 6,785-yard, par-72 configuration for the tournament, though it has a non-traditional five par-3 and five par-5 holes and just eight par-4s.
"It's a (Jack) Nicklaus design, I have heard nothing but good things about it," CU head coach Roy Edwards said. "A private club in northern California, it is in really good shape, it's a prestigious golf course, and should be a great experience for all of us. It's not very old (20 years), it's not a long course, there is some target golf involved and with shorter courses, if you miss off the tee, it usually means you can buy yourself a lot of trouble."
The Buffaloes will be represented by six players in their "second years" with last year's eligibility due to the NCAA permitted spring athletes to get a "do-over" for their 2020 seasons. Seniors Victor Bjorlow and Daniel O'Loughlin, junior Cole Krantz, sophomores Kristoffer Max and John Paterson and technically in his third year classified as a freshman, Adam Matteson. O'Loughlin leads the team in stroke average at 71.39, with Bjorlow (73.17), Paterson (73.39) and Matteson (73.40) separated by less than a quarter of a stroke. Krantz is averaging 73.92 and Max 74.11. The sextet has earned 17 letters between them, an all-time high.
O'Loughlin is designated as CU's No. 1 player for the meet, followed by Bjorlow, Paterson, Matteson, Max and Krantz for Nos. 2 through 6.
...
NOTES: O'Loughlin's career stroke average is 71.66; he's chasing Jeremy Paul's school mark of 71.72 set from 2013-17 ... The first criteria to normally qualify for the NCAA Championships is that a school must own a winning record against Division I competition; that has been waved this spring due to the pandemic, but the Buffaloes are still 67-59-2 … Unlike with some other events, the NCAA is keeping the size of the field the same for the postseason, meaning 81 teams will participate in six regionals across the country (May 17-19), the closest to Boulder being in Albuquerque and Stillwater, Okla. … CU's fifth-man scoring average is 77.3, while the fourth-man average is 75.1 going into the Pac-12's; neither are school bests but are among the top five since those numbers have been tracked ... Colorado is 9-17-1 versus Pac-12 schools this year, having seen all at least once, and is 30-47-4 in rounds ... CU is 9-17-1 against Pac-12 schools this spring (30-47-4 in rounds), having bumped up against all on at least one occasion... Stanford is the defending champion, with eight different schools having won the title over the last 15 events; Oregon State, Washington State and the two 2012 newcomers, CU and Utah, are the only ones without a Pac-12 crown ... Opening pairings are by a random draw (sans the defending champ, which opens in the first groups on No. 1); Colorado is paired with Southern California and Washington State and will tee off on No. 1 from 9:06-10:01 a.m. MDT (Round 1) and from 2:36-3:31 p.m. (Round 2) ... The Pac-12 Network will air highlights daily after the conclusion of play and is covering the event and have a championship special on Thursday (April 29) at 9 p.m. MDT ... The NCAA Championship selections will be announced live on the Golf Channel on Wednesday, May 5 beginning at Noon MDT (also streamed live on its website) ... Washington will host the 2022 Pac-12 Championships next April (dates TBA); the Huskies were set to host last spring until the pandemic brought the sports world to a halt on March 12.
