Thomas Hutchison, UC Davis  Men’s Golfer of the Month  Senior • San Jose, Calif.

• UC Davis senior Thomas Hutchison opened 2021-22 season with a pair of top-three finishes, ending the Marquette Intercollegiate in 3rd (70-66-68—204, -17) before winning the Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational in record fashion (68-62-71—201, -15). 

• The 62 shot in the second round of the Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational was a school single-round record and one off the overall Eisenhower Blue Golf Course record, while the 15-under for the tournament was the third-lowest tournament score by an Aggie, with his 201 falling just two strokes shy of the school record. The tournament win was the second of his career. 

• Hutchison’s win at the Falcon Invitational paced the Aggies to the team title and the tournament record as UC Davis won the event by 24 strokes with a 33-under-par cumulative score. The 831 was the sixth-lowest 54-hole tournament tally in school history. 

• This is Hutchison’s third monthly honor, also earning the award for his play in Sept. 2018 and April 2021.
