His 54-hole total of 8-under 208 (67-71-70) earned the Illinois-commit a three-stroke victory over Long Beach State freshman Ivan Barahona (-5). Ryan Voois, who will join Herendeen at Illinois next fall, finished five back at 3-under while Edan Cui, Jack Beauchamp and Dylan Oyama rounded out the top-five at 2-under.
“It was a fun week this week," said the Bellevue, Wash. native. "I hit my driver well and kept it in play. It was super important to be on the right side of the holes with some of these pins and managed my iron game nicely.
"Trying to keep the round stress-free was the goal and I did a nice job of that. Was fun to compete this week with a little different field with some college players. Thanks to Terra Lago and the Saguaro Am Series for putting on a great event.”
The next event in the Troon Saguaro Amateur Series will be the Grapevine Amateur, Dec. 27-30 at Silverado Golf Club in Napa, Calif.
