After an 18-shot team victory, the most drama came form the individual leaderboard, where two Stanford players faced off
After 54 holes, Stanford had put 18 shots between themselves and runner-up USC. After back-to-back opening rounds of 1-under 279, the home team went 6 under in the final round.
Stanford entered the week ranked No. 31 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, and scored meaningful head-to-head wins on four teams ranked inside the top 15.
Behind USC, the No. 7-ranked team, Oklahoma was third at 14 over and California was fourth at 15 over. First-round leader Washington ended up fifth.
In the end, Wu prevailed in the playoff for the individual title, the first of his college career.
"To have a guy have so many close calls and a great career at Stanford over the course of four years and play in almost every tournament and have his first win come in The Goodwin in the 50th is a pretty special deal," said Stanford head coach Conrad Ray. "He'll remember that the rest of his life and we will, too."
Cal’s Collin Morikawa, BYU’s Peter Kuest and USC’s Kaito Onishi tied for third two shots back.
