The Arizona State men's golf team heads to the 17th annual Prestige at PGA West held Feb. 20-22. The tournament, co-hosted by UC Davis and Stanford, will be played at the par-72, 7,156-yard Greg Norman Tournament Course at PGA WEST in LaqQuinta, Calif.
The Sun Devils enter the event as second-place finishers in the previous year, carding an 8-under 844 (287-269-288). The maroon and gold were defeated only by LSU, who captured the tournament victory shooting 26-under 826 (277-284-265) as a team.
The Prestige at PGA WEST has been regarded as one of the top collegiate tournaments in the country since its inception in 2000, and the Amateur Tournament Rank has expanded that recognition by declaring the 2015 event as the 56th-best amateur tournament in the world.
The Prestige at PGA WEST has an impressive tournament field, hosting Texas Tech (No. 5 by Golfstat), Stanford (8), Oklahoma (11), San Diego State (14), San Diego State (14), LSU (16), and Arizona State (27).
The lineup for the Sun Devils features: Jared du Toit, Nicolo Galletti, Chun An Yu, Blake Wagoner, and Ryan Douglass. Individually Jino Sohn is competing.
Last time out Arizona State tied for fourth place at the Amer Ari Invitational scoring with a 23-under 841 (286-279-276). Jared du Toit tied for first place recording a 16-under 200 which was good for his ninth top-ten finish as a Sun Devil.
Chun (Kevin) An Yu carded a 6-under 210 (71-68-71) in his first tournament with the Sun Devils and tied for 20th place.
The first round of play will begin at 7:30 a.m. PT/8:30 a.m. MT on Monday, Feb. 20. Live scoring is available on golfstat.com.
