OUR TOURNAMENT HISTORY HERE

Last year, the Sun Devil men’s golf team won the 15-team Cabo Collegiate in convincing fashion. ASU won the tournament by nine strokes, and did it shooting 11-under 273 in the final round, as only two other teams were under par in the third round. Three Sun Devils finished in the top-10, led by Preston Summerhays who shot an 8-under 205 and finished third. Michael Mjaaseth tied for second in par-5 holes, shooting 7-under. 

ABOUT THE COURSE

Designed by PGA champion Fred Couples, Twin Dolphin Club’s 18-hole course is built into the mountainous Baja desert, combining rippling fairways and fast greens with dramatic arroyos, natural bunkers and phenomenal views of the Sea of Cortez. It’s a challenging course as fun as Cabo itself.
