Fresno State’s Tommy Stephenson finished tied for 14th in the 2021 Mountain West Championship – just four strokes back of the medalist.
TUCSON, Ariz. – The Fresno State men's golf team finished in eighth place in the 2021 Mountain West Championship in Arizona.
After shooting a 5-under-par round of 67 on Saturday, Tommy Stephenson tied for 14th at 3-under-par for the Bulldogs in the 54-hole tournament, which was played at OMNI Tucson National Golf Club's Catalina Course for the 13th time in the last 14 MW championships.
Stephenson's finish was just four strokes back of MW individual champion Puwit Anupansuebsai, who won a four-man playoff on the second playoff hole after all four had finished the tournament at 7-under-par. New Mexico won the team championship.
Matthew Sutherland also finished in the top 25 – tying for 23rd at 1-over-par.
The OMNI Tucson National Golf Club is designed by Robert Van Hagge and Bruce Devlin with the Catalina Course being known for its magnificent views, traditional parkland-style layout and tree-lined fairways. Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, the course also includes eight sparkling lakes and 80 bunkers, while the 18th hole is considered to be one of the finest and most challenging finishing holes on the PGA Tour.
Home to over 30 PGA events, including the prestigious Chrysler Classic of Tucson from 1997-2006, as well as several NCAA tournaments, the Tucson National has been selected as one of Golf Digest magazine's "75 Best Golf Resorts in North America."
