Will Zalatoris, a freshman at Wake Forest, shot 67 on Monday at Riviera and will be in the field this week with PGA TOUR pros

PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. — Wake Forest freshman Will Zalatoris shot 67 on Monday at Riviera Country Club, beating out 13 other collegiate hopefuls at the Northern Trust Open Collegiate Showcase. He will make a PGA Tour start this week at the Northern Trust Open after winning the inaugural event by five shots. He was the only player to shoot under-par. The event featured 14 college players playing alongside a current or former PGA TOUR pro from their respective school, as well as two other amateurs. Alongside the collegiate competition, the PGA TOUR pro and two amateurs played best-ball for a chance to earn $50,000 for their school. That prize went to the University of Oregon as head men's golf coach Casey Martin and his partners shot 13-under 58. Zalatoris had a spectacular 2014 summer, winning the U.S. Junior Amateur, Trans-Miss Championship, and Texas State Amateur. He'll be the fifth amateur to tee it up on the PGA TOUR this year, coming after Kyle Suppa at the Sony Open, Jon Rahm at the Phoenix Open, and Jake Knapp and Gunn Yang at the Farmers Insurance Open.
