Southern California captures the team title at Pasatiempo, while Jack Buchanan leads a strong Trojan performance
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Southern California leaned on one decisive stretch of golf to claim the 79th Western Intercollegiate, closing out a tense finish at Pasatiempo Golf Club with a one-shot victory over California.
The Trojans finished at 13-under, their advantage forged during a commanding second round that ultimately separated them from the field. A tournament-best 16-under effort in Round 2 gave USC the cushion it needed, even as California mounted a steady final-round push. The Golden Bears closed with an even-par round but came up just short.

Behind them, UNLV and BYU shared third at 8-under, while Arizona and Stanford tied for fifth at 6-under in a tightly packed leaderboard that reflected Pasatiempo’s demand for precision.
If the team race was defined by control, the individual battle delivered pure drama.
