Tommy Jernigan finished the tournament at 24-over-par 237 and had one eagle throughout the tournament.

"The conditions in the first round were extreme and we didn't handle it as well as we would have liked," said CSUEB assistant coach Chris Oetinger. "However, the guys adjusted their mindset and bounced back strong putting up the lowest combined total for the final two rounds. I'm very proud of the way they fought back. We now have to wait and see if we did enough to earn a spot into the [NCAA Division II Men's Golf West/South Central Regional Championship]."

Matthew Pennington of Cal State San Marcos won the individual title. Sonoma State won the team competition while CSU East Bay finished in fifth place.  

The Pioneers will now wait to see if they are selected for the 2022 NCAA Division II Men's Golf West/South Central Regional Championship.
