NORTH PLAINS, Ore. — Trevor Simsby mounted a final round rally to win his first collegiate tournament but it was not enough to help Washington overtake California in the team standings of the inaugural Pac-12 Preview on Tuesday.
Simsby, who entered the day tied for fifth, shot a sizzling 6-under 66 on the Witch Hollow course at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club to end 11-under 205 for the tournament. He fended off Arizona State's Jon Rahm Rodriguez, who fired a 65 but ended up one stroke behind Simsby.
California shot 29-under 835 to UW's 842.
Cheng-Tsung Pan tied with David Boote of Stanford for third after both finished 8 under.
Washington State was ninth at 5-over 869.
