BREMERTON, Wash. -- San Diego State senior men's golfer Puwit Anupansuebsai (Nakhon Phanom, Thailand) fired a final-round 4-under-par 68 to finish in a tie for 11th at the Husky Invitational Tuesday on the par-72, 7,155-yard Olympic Course at Gold Mountain Golf Club.
Anupansuebsai, who began Tuesday in a tie for 32nd place out of 80 entrants, logged five birdies in the final round, including three over his final five holes to move up 21 places overall at 4-under 212. Anupansuebsai's 68, which featured only one bogey (par-4, 481-yard third hole), tied for the second-lowest round of the day in the field.
Classmate Steve Sugimoto (San Diego/Rancho Bernardo HS), meanwhile, finished a shot back of Anupansuebsai in a tie for 15th at 3-under 213 following a 3-over 75 on Tuesday. Sugimoto had a pair of birdies, but also five bogeys for his 75.
Sophomore Liam Koeneke (Del Mar, Calif./Torrey Pines HS) tied for 61st at 9-over 225 with a 76 today, while senior Youssef Guezzale's (San Diego/La Jolla HS) 75 had him finish in a tie for 63rd at 10-over 226.
Freshman Shea League (Jamul, Calif./Steele Canyon HS) also was in the lineup and tied for 69th at 12-over 228 after a 77 in Tuesday's final round.
The Aztecs settled for a tie for ninth at 9-over 873 with Washington State after shooting a 6-over 294 on Tuesday, moving up two places from the 36-hole first day on Monday. Nevada and Washington each finished at 18-under 846, but the visiting Wolf Pack claimed the title based on scorecard playoff. Oregon State was four shots back in third at -14.
Over on the Cascade Course at Golf Mountain Golf Club for the Husky Individual Invitational, freshman Jack Townsend (San Diego/Charter School of San Diego) finished in a four-way-tie for fourth on the par-72, 6,772-yard track at 6-under 210. Townsend carded a 2-under 70 today, sinking an eagle on the par-5, 491-yard fifth to go along with a birdie, bogey and 15 pars. Townsend was four shots back behind co-champions Nick Watts (San José State) and Greyson Leach (Oregon), who both reached double digits at 10-under 206 in the 45-player field.
Other Aztecs competing in the Husky Individual Invitational included senior Joey Moore (Billings, Mont.) (T-14th, -2), sophomore Skyler Ngo (Las Vegas) (32nd, +5), freshman Justin Hastings (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands) (37th, +12) and sophomore Jackson Moss (San Diego/Point Loma HS) (T-40th, +17).
San Diego State next competes in TCU's Colonial Collegiate Invitational, Oct. 4-5, in Fort Worth, Texas.
