MARQUETTE INTERCOLLEGIATE (SEPT. 30-OCT. 2): Arizona State finished second behind hot-shooting Northwestern at the Marquette Intercollegiate held at the Erin Hills Golf Course (par-72/7,869 yards), the site of the 2017 U.S. Open.

This marked the second straight tournament ASU had finished second to start the year, as it took second at the Maui Jim Invitational Sept. 21-23 in Scottsdale. Junior Alex del Rey -- who posted 37 pars, 11 birdies and one eagle in 54 holes -- finished second. The only player to shoot under par in each round, del Rey finished at 7-under 209 (69-70-70). It marked the seventh top-10 finish for del Rey in his Sun Devil career and the second-best finish of his career, as he won the 2017 Maui Jim Intercollegiate.
