Male Freshman Athlete of the Quarter

Matt Hansen has made an unquestioned impact on the men’s golf team this season.

During his freshman campaign, Hansen has had a dream season.

The Los Osos, Calif. native averaged just 72 strokes per-round this season, good for second on the team.

Hansen finished in the top-10 at three tournaments this season.

Hansen saved his best for last, however.

He produced a dominating performance at the NCAA Regional Tournament, posting a 64 in the first round of the NCAA Regionals, the best round by an UC Davis golfer this season. Hansen went on to finish first, securing a place in the NCAA Championship Tournament, which is currently taking place in Stillwater, Okla.
