Loustalot has drive to win
Top golfer a favorite in
FSU/Pepsi Classic
Fresno State golfer Tim Loustalot
(pronounced Lost-uh lot) was not sup¬
posed to win a tournament that featured
the 1985 U.S. Amateur champion. Tim
Loustalot was also not supposed to win
another tournament when, in sudden deai.i
playoff action, he was 40 feet from the pin
while his opponent was 15 feel away.
These feats of achievement are usually

ica status. But maybe that's what Tim
Loustalot is trying to tell the world of
collegiate golf. Maybe, just maybe. Tim

Santa Barbara native. It was Loustalot's
first collegiate victory and one of Ran¬
dolph's few collegiate losses, prompting
the USC first team 1985 AU-American to
vow, "We're gonna kick Fresno's butts the
next time we face them."
While Randolph may never forget that
loss. Loustalot will always remember that

"Playing with AIM
(Harper) and John (Erickson) and David
(Sutherland) and Kevin (Sutherland) for
that matter has provided good competi¬
tion all year," said Loustalot "We're all
capableof being All-Americans like coach
said at the outset of the year."
Fresno State has had only one first All-
American (Tim Morris in 1980) although
12 have frequented the second, third, and
honorable mention charts. Seniors Erick¬
son (1985 honorable mention) and Harper
(1983 third team) along with the Suther-
and brothers give the All-American
committee plenty of Bulldogs to choose
Fresno State's highest finish ever came
in the 1980 NCAA when the Bulldogs had
two All-Americans placing 10th as a team
in the nation. But as to if this is Fresno
State's greatest ever. Loi«=talot and Wat-
ney have and exact word-lor-word answer.

Before the Bulldogs get a chance to play
Fullerton, they hayeto finish in one of the
top two spots in their pool. There are four
pools containing either four or five teams
ineach. Fresno State is iq. Pool C. which is '
considered to be the toughest.

Wright.

On Friday, the Bulldogs will play Utah
(No. 13), a team that took Fresno State
nine innings before losing, 1-0, in a Las
Vegas tournament earlier in the season.
"We faced their best pitcher and their
best lineup on that day,"said Wright. "I'm
sure they will be out for revenge against
us, but if we play like we did the first time,
we shouldnt have a problem."

Although there will be 11 of the top 20
