ASU's Jesse Mueller tied a Karsten Golf Course record with a second round 62 last week at the 88th Southwest Men's Amateur. The record was set in 1999 by former Sun Devil and 2000 U.S. Amateur Champion Jeff Quinney.
Quinney shot a final round 62 on April 18 en route to setting a tournament record 15-under 201 at the ASU Thunderbird/SAVANE Invitational.
