Sonoma State claimed both the men’s and women’s championships, each winning for the second straight tournament, in the Academy of Art Invitational on the North and South Courses at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa.
Devin Gregg and Thomas Jenkins Jr. of Sonoma State shared the men’s individual with Ryan Hong of Cal State East Bay, as the Seawolves rallied to win with a score of 306-296—602, 26-over-par, followed by Cal State East Bay at 299-306—605, Academy of Art of San Francisco in San Francisco at 314-305—619 and Hawaii Pacific at 320-315—635.
“The resiliency our (men’s and women’s) teams showed was really impressive to watch,” Coach Val Verhunce said. “I was really proud to see a lot of our guys bounce back from different setbacks and miscues and complete the comeback.
“We played a tour level golf course in some tour level conditions especially, in the second round, and we fought to the very end. I believe in the talent all of our players have, and when they commit and believe in themselves they have all the ability in the world to be successful.”
