The Arizona State men's golf team held off host Arizona and claimed its third team title of the year by shooting an 8-under 856 (279-287-290), taking home 2004 National Invitational Tournament honors.
The event, held at the Omni National Golf Course in Tucson, was an 11-team field including four Pac-10 schools and six other national contenders including Oklahoma State and Minnesota.
Senior Chez Reavie shot a 3-under 213 (72-70-71) and tied for ninth while Jesse Mueller finished at 2-under 214 (69-70-73) and was 11th.
Sun Devil Alejandro Canizares, the defending NCAA champion who also won the 2003 National Invitational Tournament, finished tied for 26th with a 3-over 219 (69-73-77).
Arizona State also won the Tucker Intercollegiate in Albuquerque in September and won the Las Vegas Collegiate Championship in mid-March. It marks the most tournament wins by a Sun Devil team since the 2000-2001 team also won three.
Arizona State plays host to the Thunderbird/Ping Invitational on April 9-10 at the Karsten Golf Course in Tempe. The Sun Devils have won their tournament four of the past five years.
