(February 20, 2017) -- Two tournaments in the spring and two wins for 12th ranked Oregon. The defending National Champions continued their early season roll with a victory this weekend at the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate.

However, the biggest story of the weekend came out of Los Angeles where Pepperdine sophomore Sahith Theegala made the cut and finished 2-under at the Geneis Open.

SMU commit Noah Goodwin, the 17th ranked player in the World of Amateur Golf rankings, finally broke through and won his first AJGA event at the CB&I / Simplify Boys Championship at Carlton Woods.
