About Zach

Zach Mate is a golfer from Elk Grove, California, pursuing his ultimate goal of competing on the PGA Tour. Zach was just recently given the opportunity to compete one more year at Sacramento State University, for his fifth and final season.

Growing up in Northern California and developing his game out of Valley Hi Country Club, Zach built his approach on discipline, precise iron play, and an aggressive yet calculated course strategy. As a leader for the Sacramento State program, he earned First-Team All-Big Sky honors, secured multiple top-10 finishes against elite DI fields, and etched his name into the university's historic record books—finishing top 3 all-time for career rounds at or below par.
