The Sun Devils are on fire.
The men’s golf team at Arizona State continued their impressive spring on Tuesday, claiming the National Invitational Tournament at OMNI Tucson National with a score of 50-under par.
And no, that’s not a typo.
ASU bested two of Golfweek’s top-five teams in the nation by 20-plus strokes. No. 5 Southern California came in second at -29, followed by No. 3 Oklahoma at -28. Colorado State (-25) and Iowa State (-24) round out the tournament’s top five.
“Our guys are playing with a lot of humility and hunger,” said Sun Devils head coach Matt Thurmond. “It’s kind of a coach’s dream to roll out with five guys every round that are going to be in it all the way on every shot to the end.”
“We are starting to build some confidence and we have a deep group of guys who know everyone in the team is working just as hard and caring just as much as they are,” Thurmond added.
The Sun Devils have won two of their last four tournaments, previously claiming the title at the Lamkin Grips Collegiate earlier this month and the John Burns Collegiate in February. The placed second in the other two (Cabo Collegiate and Arizona Intercollegiate).
