THE COURSE
The Arizona State University Karsten Golf Course is conveniently located just 10 minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport, and was rated "4 ½ stars" by Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play". The championship par-71 Pete Dye, Scottish links design with rolling hills and railroad ties is home to one of the strongest collegiate golf programs in the country, and boasts exceptional playing conditions year-round. The four sets of tees ranging from 4,765 to 7,316 yards provide a memorable challenge for players of all levels.

Freshman Blake Tomlinson and junior Kyler Dunkle continued to lead Utah's five-man team in another event. Tomlinson finished the event with a combined score of 5-over par (75-71-72=218) to finish in a tie for 59^th place, while Dunkle carded a score of 6-over par (70-75-74=219) to place 65^th overall.

QUOTABLE
"This is our final tournament of the regular season," said head coach Garrett Clegg. "We have had a little over a week at home and are looking forward to getting out on the course again to compete. The Karsten Course is a place everyone on the team has played. It will be a fantastic tournament and we are excited to get to Phoenix on Thursday."

UP NEXT
