University of the Pacific’s men’s golf team made history at its home Visit Stockton Invitational Saturday, Oct. 11, sweeping the podium and outpacing 16 other Division I programs at The Reserve at Spanos Park.

Led by health and exercise science major Felix Bouchard ’28, who earned his first collegiate win, the Tigers claimed their first team title of the 2025–26 season and their first home victory since the 2010 Pacific Invitational at Brookside Country Club.

“I couldn’t be prouder of these guys,” said Head Coach John Cook. “Felix getting his first college win was awesome. All of these guys battled hard all three days. To win at home in Stockton is surreal.”

Posting a field-best 10-under-par final round, Pacific cruised to the team title as all five Tigers finished inside the top 20 individually.

Bouchard, a native of Montreal, Quebec, led the 96-player field at 12-under par. Pre-dentistry major Deitrek Gill ’27 and applied economics major Ian Fritz ’26 followed in second and third at 11-under and 10-under, marking the first time in program history Pacific golfers swept the top three spots.

“It’s awesome,” Bouchard said. “For a long time, I thought it wasn’t possible, but it is. It’s a really good feeling to be an individual champion.”

Bouchard becomes the second straight Tiger to win the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational, following sports science major Travis Robbie ’26, who took the title last season at Stockton Golf & Country Club.

Each of the top three finishers recorded career-best results. For Gill, the runner-up finish tops his three previous top-five showings from last year.

“I think this is going to be a turning point for the guys,” Gill said. “I’m really proud of Felix for his win. For us to take the top three spots is special.”

Competing in his final home event, Fritz capped his Pacific career with his best finish to date.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling to get the team win,” Fritz said. “A lot of us have been playing well recently, and it’s great to culminate it with a win and a top three finish in our home tournament.”

The victory marks Pacific’s third team title in the last two seasons, adding to wins at The Goat at Navy and the Leadership and Golf Collegiate Championship at Saint Mary’s during the 2024–25 campaign.

“These guys are working really hard,” Cook said. “We have a goal to get back to the NCAA Regionals this year, and this is a great start.”

The Tigers look to defend their team tournament title from last year in Seaside, California as they get set to wrap up the fall portion of their 2025-26 schedule at the Saint Mary’s Invitational on Monday, Oct. 20. See the full schedule here.
