Sonoma State’s Griffin Pace won his first collegiate tournament en route to be named the CCAA Men’s Golfer of the Week, for the week of Oct. 5-11.
Pace shot an 11-under par 205 to win the Wildcat Classic at the Peach Tree Golf & Country Club in Marysville on Tuesday. He led the Seawolves to a third place finish in a tight race for top three in the tournament hosted by Chico State.
The senior from Irvine shot a pair of tournament-low 66s on Monday to rise to the top of the leaderboard after two rounds. Pace then carded a 73 to hold off the field for his first tournament win.
In all, he scored 16 birdies in the 54-hole tournament for his best career finish.
Sonoma State finished two shots behind host Chico State and one back of runner-up Simon Fraser. The rest of the field were at least 16 strokes behind the Seawolves.
This was Pace’s third Golfer of the Week award. He earned this honor last March 30 as the top CCAA golfer at the Hanny Stanislaus Invitational in Turlock when he placed fifth. He also shared the award on Sept. 18, 2019 with teammate Devin Gregg.
The Seawolves hit the links again this weekend when they take part in the Otter Fall Classic at the Bayonet Golf Course in Seaside.
