The Bruins were led by Hidetoshi Yoshihara, who closed with a 69 to finish at 3-under 213 and in third place individually. Cole Madey (72) finished alone in fourth at 1 under, while Devon Bling (69) and Tyler Collier (69) had top-10 finishes. Eddy Lai finished T18 to round out the scoring for UCLA.
The defending champion Sahith Theegala finished T16 at 4-over 220.
Kyle Mueller of the University of Michigan earned medalist honors, shooting the round of the tournament, a 6-under 66 to post 8-under 208.
Tennessee's Lorenzo Scalise shot his third-straight par-or-better round to finish solo second at 7-under 209, just one shot behind the winner.Bringing home the hardware! 🏆
