USC wins the Western Intercollegiate, Cal's William Aldred records two hole-in-ones plus more for the weekend in amateur golf
(April 10, 2017) - The cheers of the Augusta National Golf Club have faded into silence until next year but the smile on the face of Stewart Hagestad almost assuredly hasn't left his face since he completed his final round of the 2017 Masters.
On Friday Hagestad made history by becoming the first ever U.S. Mid-Amateur champion to make the Masters cut and then on Sunday he won the Silver Cup, awarded to the low amateur.
Hagestad's former college team, the USC Trojans won for the fourth-time this season at the Western Intercollegiate.
A little bit of history was also made this weekend at the Western Intercollegiate as a tournament record five holes-in-one were recorded. Two of which came from Cal redshirt freshman William Aldred.
In women's college golf a pair of host teams won events with Arizona State winning the PING/ASU Invitational for the first time since 2007 and Georgia capturing the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic for the 14th time.
The biggest win in the senior ranks over the weekend came from Michael Wharton-Palmer who rallied in the final round to win the Golfweek Senior Amateur.
