MM solid in Hawai
Michael Mjaaseth, a two-time senior All-American from Norway, posted one of the best tournaments in ASU history in Hawaii (Feb. 5-7). Mjaaseth finished third and shot 19-under 197 (63-63-71) at the Amer Ari Invitational. He shot 9-under 63 in the first two rounds, then settled down for a 1-under 71 in the final round.
About the tournament
The inaugural tournament honors Cal's former legendary men's golf coach, Steve Desimone. Desimone coached the Golden Bears for 37 years, taking over a program that had lost varsity status in 1979 and getting it reinstated as an NCAA sport. By the time he retired following the 2015-16 season, Cal had become a sustained power and Desimone was a larger-than-life pillar of college golf, in Berkeley and beyond.
