A native of Daly City, Dennis Mori graduated in Accounting in 1968.
Led by USF's answer to Arnold Palmer, senior Bill Reid, the USF golf team has established itself as a powerful contender in its battle for the 1968 WCAC Golf Crown. The team's top six men, composed of Reid, Dennis Mori, Pat Murphy, Jake Montez, John Jew, and Mark Avelar.
Senior Jim Schroder's 72, over the hilly Spring Valley Country Club layout, copped medalist honors for the afternoon, and set the tone for the Dons' resounding, near-sweep victory. The amazing aspect of the win was the fact of its location. On such a hilly course as Spring Valley, golfers must frequently face blind tee shots and occasionally, blind approaches to the green. In such situations, the home team, having frequented the circuit, has a decided advantage. The facts bear this edge out, as the Broncos were able to defeat San Diego State at Spring Valley, while SDS finished third in the Western Intercollegiate tourney to SCU's lowly sixteenth slot. The unshakeable Dons, however, staggered not by their rugged assignment, responded in fine fashion, firing five-out- of-six sub-75 rounds against Santa Clara's one Bronco ace Neil Woodruff's 74. Junior Dennis Mori carded the second-best round at 73, followed by Bill Reid, Mark Avelar and Ron Johnson with 74's. Tim Lister, the team's only non-returnee, fired a 78. Although Don boosters have a right to be optimistic, the favorite for the WCAC Championship tourney on May 8th has to be San Jose State (TheFoghorn).
