The No. 9 ASU men's golf team is in a stretch of five tournaments -- 15 rounds -- in a 31-day stretch in Mexico (Cabo Collegiate), San Francisco (Desimone Invitational), Tucson (Arizona Thunderbird), West Palm Beach (Valspar Invitational) and Carrolton, Texas (Maridoe Invitational).
It probably wants to play more after its dominating 20-stroke win at the Desimone Invitational that finished Tuesday, led by Fifa Laopakdee matching SMU's Ben Steinmann for the top spot at 13-under 203 (64-67-72).
ASU shot 39-under (271-276-278) to beat TCU by 20 strokes, as the field included top-10 teams No. 4 Texas and No. 10 Pepperdine. The Sun Devils are now 70-29-1 in head-to-head competition.
ASU also had Bowen Maus (tied for fifth) and Michael Mjaaseth (tied for seventh) notch top-five finishes.
