OUR TOURNAMENT HISTORY HERE
Last season, ASU finished with a school-best 63-under 801 (265-268-268) to take second place. Freshmen Wenyi Ding won the individual title at last year's Amer Ari Invitational when he broke the school record for the lowest 54-hole tournament final score (17-under or better) shot by a Sun Devil. ASU has won the Amer Ari team title three times (2021, 2015 and 1995) while five Sun Devils have earned the individual title: Wenyi Ding (2024), David Puig (2021), Jesper Kennegard (2009), Chris Hanell (1996) and Todd Dempsey (1994).
ABOUT THE COURSE
The North Course represents the quintessential golf experience on the Island of Hawaii. Built on a lava bed, the North is characterized by 18 holes of rolling terrain punctuated by Kiawe (mesquite) forests. A 230-acre protected archaeological district lies on the northern boundary of the golf course. No.17, a par three tucked into a natural lava amphitheater, is the resort's signature hole and a favorite "I was here" photo spot. This course has become one of the most popular tournament venues on the Island.
