SANTA CRUZ, Calif.---The Chattanooga Mocs men's golf team tees off the week at the 77th Western Intercollegiate. The 14-team field hits the historic Pasatiempo Golf Course Sunday with 54 holes played over three days ending on Tuesday. The event broadcasts on the Golf Channel and Peacock.
 
Of the 14 squads, 12 are ranked from No. Washington to No. 52 San Jose State. The Mocs are No. 42 and looking to head into the postseason with momentum. The squad boasts two wins and four runner-up finishes in nine events to date.
