Since the time it joined the Pac-10 in 1978-19, no men's golf team was better in its conference tournament than Arizona State. ASU added to their record total of 13 Pac-10/12 team championships since joining the league in 1978-79 in 2024, which was five more than any other school (USC had eight).
Next up are the Big 12 Championships, as the Sun Devils will hope to do what they did in 1979 and win the conference in its first year in the league. Tee times start at 5:30 a.m. MST/7:30 a.m. CT for round one with continuous play into round two.

PAC-10/12 SUCCESS AT ASU
Arizona State won 13 Pac-10 titles in its 45 chances, including a conference record six straight from 1995-2000.

ASU tied for the league title in 2005 with Washington but lost on a tiebreaker formula, and the league decided to go to a playoff format after that season.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GUYS
Fifa Laopakdee
In the new year, Fifa Laopakdee has seen four top-12 finishes. The sophomore just can't miss recently as he claimed the Individual Championship at the Thunderbird Collegiate in a playoff after posting a 12-under. He also finished in a tie for first place at the Cabo Collegiate back in March.
Preston Summerhays
At the Thunderbird Collegiate, Preston Summerhays saw a new season low in his first round when he shot an 8-under 63. He then went on to finish third at 11-under for the tournament. Summerhays has played in all but one tournament this spring as he played at the Valero Texas Open on a sponsorship exemption.
Michael Mjaaseth
Consistency has been key for Michael Mjaaseth as he has five top-20 finishes this spring. He finished tied for fifth at the Cabo Collegiate, fourth at Maridoe, and eigth at the Thunderbird Collegiate. He saw his best career round at the Amer Ari Intercollegiate when he shot a 8-under 64 in the first round.
Josele Ballester
It's been a big spring for the U.S. Amateur as he made his first ever appearance at the Masters and the Waste Management Phoenix Open. When he wasn't competing for the green jacket or the greates show on grass, Ballester was battling it out with the Maroon and Gold.
Connor Williams
Connor Williams tied his career low round this spring in the first round at the Amer Ari Intercollegiate with a 6-under 66. The sophomore has also been a contender in the lineup for five out of six tournaments this spring. The one tournament he missed was when he made his PGA Tour debut at the Puerto Rico Open, so we'll allow it.
