Sophomore Ramsey Sahyoun turned in his second-highest finish as a Trojan to lead the USC men's golf team during the final round of The Prestige at PGA West on Tuesday (Oct. 11) in La Quinta, Calif.
The Trojans, playing in their first event of the year after the season-open was rained out, finished 10th at 3-under 861 (289-285-286), 29 strokes behind first-place Oregon (832) in the 16-team field. Washington took second (834) while Stanford was third (840).
Playing individually, freshman Anthony Paolucci was actually USC's top finisher in his debut event in the Cardinal and Gold, tying for 17th at 5-under 211 (74-71-66). His final round, beginning on the 10th hole in the shotgun start, included a 3-under front 9 and a 3-under back 9 with seven birdies overall.
Sahyoun tied for 24th at 3-under 213 (73-70-70). He was 1-over on the front 9, three birdies helping to offset a pair of double bogeys (his only two of the event) on 2 and 7. He played a clean back 9 with three birdies to get to 2-under. His only better finish as a Trojan came last year at the Gifford Intercollegiate, where he tied for 18th.
Junior Sam Smith tied for 39th at 1-over 217 (70-77-70). Like Sahyoun, he doubled the second hole, but recovered with four birdies and 12 pars the rest of the way.
Junior Martin Trainer tied for 49th at 3-over 219 (72-68-79), sophomore Jeffrey Kang tied for 55th at 4-over 220 (76-73-71) while senior Steve Lim tied for 64th at 8-over 224 (74-75-75).
