"There was a disappointment exactly a year ago here … where we had a chance to win one and we didn't quite get it done," ASU head coach Mark Thurmond told the GOLF Channel. "But we win a lot of tournaments, this was just one that we really wanted to finish off better this time and I'm so proud of these guys, we played awesome for three days."
Puig earned a two-stroke victory over Michael Brennan of Wake Forest and teammate Cameron Sisk to become the first-ever back-to-back winner at the Southwestern, and just the fourth player to win multiple Southwestern titles. The victory was his third overall as a collegian.
"I know we had a six-shot lead to start the day and I trust these guys a lot, I know they are really really good, they practice so hard too, so I was pretty relaxed the whole day and we did awesome as a team," Puig told the GOLF Channel.
Puig had eight birdies and an eagle en route to a final round 65, which was just one stroke off the tournament record, as he passed 36 hole leaders Trent Phillips of Georgia and Devon Bling of UCLA, who struggled to rounds of 78 and 79 on Wednesday.
