CHUN FINISHING STRONG: As Senior Chun An Yu embarks on his final go-around with ASU this spring, he wants to continue his trend of ending a season on a positive note. Two years ago, Chun finished under par in four of his last six events, including taking home the individual medal at the Bandon Dunes Championship in March of 2018. Last season, he hit 8 of his last 17 rounds in the 60's. 

Head coach Matt Thurmond on Chun An Yu: "You can count on him and give it all that he has got on his shots ... I think that he is a guy that if we end up winning this year or doing big things, he is going to be at the center of it."

THE FIELD (Golfweek rankings): Arizona State (17), Augusta (78), BYU (14), California (32), LSU (21), North Texas (137), San Jose State (65), Stanford (28), UC Davis (86), UCLA (23), and USC (41) round out the field of 12. Pepperdine is hosting this tournament.
