California Golden Bears capture
tournament held at Classic Club
O
ne of the biggest Division I men's golf
tournaments of the 2017-18 season
returned to the Classic Club in February,
with the University of California winning an
event that fielded 23 golf teams, including
six ranked in the top 50.
California, which entered the tourna-
ment ranked 15th in the country, shot a cu-
mulative 817 over the three-day
tournament, besting Texas Tech, the 14th-
ranked squad, by 20 strokes. For the tour-
nament, California shot a combined
47-under par. The Golden Bears were led
by Collin Morikawa and Sebastian Cramp-
ton, who each shot 202 over the three
days, sharing the low round score with two
other players.
Colorado (845), UCLA (848), and Kansas
(856) rounded out the top five. The individ-
ual low score of the tournament was 64,
which Oklahoma State's Austin Eckroat's
tallied in the third round.
The tournament was hosted by the Uni-
versity of Wyoming's men's golf team,
which finished in ninth place.
