Former Arizona State assistant head coach Mickey Yokoi was announced as the new Men's Head Golf coach yesterday, replacing Ryan Ressa, who resigned on November 8.Ressa left after brief but successful stint at Long Beach State to work for Taylormade, a leading brand in golf equipment.
Yokoi, on the other hand, spent 14 years at Arizona State, a program that has won five Pac-10 championships and four regional championships in the past nine years. Among the numerous professionals to golf at Arizona State are Paul Casey, Chez Reavie, and most notably major champion Phil Mickelson. It's safe to say that people know what they are doing in Tempe.
The 49ers finished their fall season just before Ressa resigned, winning one tournament but placing no higher than sixth in any others. Their spring campaign begins on February 13 when they play in the CSU Bakersfield invitational.
