Arizona State wins Pac-12 men’s golf championship in commanding fashion
Here’s what you need to know about Arizona State University
ASU, founded in 1886, has its main campus in Tempe, and Sparky the Sun Devil is the mascot for the school.
The Arizona State men’s golf has done it again. The Sun Devils are the Pac-12 champion, winning the last-ever tournament title in the soon-to-be-extinct conference and taking it in commanding fashion.
ASU, ranked No. 4 nationally, totaled 27-over 1,447 to outdistance runner-up California by 16 strokes in the 72-hole event held at the par 71, 7,203-yard Desert Forest Golf Club in Carefree. It was the 13th conference title dating back to the Pac-10 era. That’s five more than USC, which has won eight.
Defending champion Stanford placed third at 44-over 1,464. Washington and Oregon rounded out the top five, both ending up at 48-over 1,468.
Stanford senior Karl Vilips was the top individual, finishing at 2-under 282 thanks to a final round of 3-under 68. That bested runner-up Ryggs Johnston, a graduate student from ASU who shot a final round of 2-under 69 to put him at 1-under 283 for the tournament.
Freshman Wenyi Ding of ASU, the No. 5 ranked amateur in the world, tied for sixth at 4-over 288. He was third going into the final hole but had a triple-bogey 7 at the 467-yard, par-4 No. 18.
Freshman Connor Williams was the No. 3 finisher for the Sun Devils, tying for 13th place at 10-over 294. Junior Preston Summerhays tied for 15th at 299 but had a nice comeback, shooting a 5-under 66 which boosted him 28 spots on the individual leaderboard. Summerhays, the No. 6 ranked amateur, was buried in the standings after a second round of 81 Friday.
Arizona started the final round in eighth place but dropped a spot, finishing at 75-over 1,495. Sophomore Zach Pollo and freshman Yannick Malik were the top finishers for the Wildcats, ending up as part of a seven-way tie for 15th place at 11-over 295.
