David Puig hoping to lead Arizona State golf team to national championship
It did not matter that Arizona State golf standout David Puig was a two-time All-American. The Solar Devils had performed nicely with out him so he thought he wanted to earn his spot within the lineup after lacking a while with a again damage.
Puig did simply that. Now he is hoping to propel the Solar Devils to the NCAA Division I Championship which began on Friday and runs via Wednesday at Scottsdale’s Grayhawk Golf Membership.
The Solar Devils, ranked fourth nationally, are coming off an excellent displaying within the Stockton (Calif.) Regional the place they shot 17-under within the third and last spherical to guide the staff to a 38-under, 10 strokes higher than the second-place finisher Stanford.
Puig, a local of La Garriga, Spain, missed the earlier two tournaments with a again damage and he did not play within the first spherical of the regional both. However Coach Matt Thurmond knowledgeable him later that night time on the staff resort he was going to be again within the lineup when the second spherical commenced.
Puig was subbed into the lineup for senior James Leow who hadn’t essentially performed badly.
“I actually did not suppose I used to be going to play, then he informed me that night time I used to be again in,” Puig mentioned. “Perhaps that was good as a result of I did not have a variety of time to consider it. I simply type of went on the market and performed. It was an enormous increase to my confidence that might assist the staff.”
Puig responded with rounds of 69 and 67, a mixed 8-under, proof he was certainly again higher than ever.
Thurmond admitted he did not know what to anticipate when he made the change.
“I had no thought what he’d do, whether or not he’d shoot a 69 or a 79. I simply thought it might be a good suggestion to get him within the lineup for a spherical or two earlier than we bought right here (to the nationwide championship event),” Thurmond mentioned. “Now trying again I feel possibly that break was good for him. It simply gave him an opportunity to regroup, get his physique proper, his thoughts proper.”
That seems to have helped. Puig has carried that momentum into the NCAA Match being held at Grayhawk for the second of what’s going to be three straight seasons. He opened play on Friday with an even-par 70, certainly one of simply 11 gamers within the 156-man discipline to shoot even par or higher.
He did not have fairly pretty much as good a day in Saturday’s second spherical, settling for a 4-over 74 for a two-day whole of 144.
Puig’s opening spherical consisted of six birdies, six bogeys and 6 pars and he did not make a par till the seventh gap however his spherical ended with a birdie on the par 4, 520-yard 18th gap, one of many harder holes on the course.
After the spherical Thurmond took to the rostrum within the media room
“It is all the time a wild experience with David, regardless of how nicely he’s enjoying,” Thurmond laughed. “That is how it’s. That is a typical David spherical. What makes me most excited is that birdie on 18. To birdie 18, that’s such a tough gap, most everyone seems to be dropping pictures on that gap together with us and that was massive, to see it pop up late within the spherical was huge for us.”
Puig admits wanting to finish his season on a excessive word as a result of the season has been a little bit of a private disappointment. He struggled a bit within the fall occasions however regrouped and took medalist honors on the prestigious Southwest Intercollegiate at North Ranch Nation Membership in Westlake Village, California. It was an occasion he additionally gained final yr as a sophomore and it took a 7-under 65 within the last spherical to overhaul teammate Cameron Sisk for particular person honors.
A few weeks after that got here the again damage.
Now Puig, who additionally performed a variety of soccer rising up in his native nation, is hoping to complete his season on a excessive word. He’s enjoying within the No. 5 slot which he says fits him advantageous. The Solar Devils boast a lot depth that junior Ryggs Johnston, who positioned fourth individually final season at nationals, is not within the beginning lineup which now boasts two true freshmen in Preston Summerhays and Josele Ballester.
Ballester, a local of Castellon, Spain, is the squad’s No. 2 participant. The 2 knew one another from aggressive tournaments of their native nation and all through Europe and Puig helped encourage Ballester to return to ASU.
The Solar Devils had been 12-over as a staff within the second spherical and discover themselves tied for eighth place at 22-over 582, heading into Sunday’s third spherical play after which the sector will probably be trimmed from 30 to fifteen groups.
“David is type of the vitality barometer of our staff. How he goes, so does our staff,” Thurmond mentioned. “He is actually bought that vitality and that spirit. And when he isn’t at his finest, which is not typically, everybody feels that battle.”
Wildcats drop in standings
Arizona began the day tied for fourth place however shot a 26-over for the day and have dropped to twenty first place within the 30-team discipline at 32-over 592.
One of the best particular person end up to now is that of junior Chaz Aurilia who adopted a 1-under 69 up with a 7-over 77 for a complete of 146 that places him in a tied for forty fourth place individually. Sophomore Sam Sommerhauser is the second Wildcat at 9-over 149.
The Wildcats might want to end Sunday’s spherical in fifteenth place or higher to qualify for the fourth spherical of stroke play. They got here into the occasion seeded twentieth.
Native helps Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Sooners got here in ranked No. 1 and an area product has been a giant a part of the equation. Sophomore Ben Lorenz, a graduate of Dawn Mountain, performs within the No. 3 spot.
Lorenz registered a 3-over 73 the primary spherical and a 6-over 76 the second day for a complete of 149 that places him in a tie for 79th place within the 156-player discipline.

Arizona continued its program trend of putting together a poor effort right after a really good one, losing at home to Texas Tech on Saturday night to mark the sixth consecutive loss immediately after beating a top-10 opponent.
Pro Football Focus didn’t think too highly of the performance, either.
Arizona earned an overall grade of 67.2, the second-lowest of the season and just slightly better than the 66.9 it got from the 31-7 loss at Kansas State last month.
The Wildcats’ offensive grade (64.0) was its lowest of the year, understandably considering that they only managed five field goals and a touchdown off 10 trips into Texas Tech territory while turning it over three times. Arizona’s defense (68.6) had its second-best grade of the season, slightly ahead of the mark it earned after the 23-10 win at Utah.
For the season, the UA ranks 50th in FBS with an overall grade of 87.1, which is ninth out of 16 Big 12 schools. Its next opponent, No. 17 BYU, is second-best in the league and 29th nationally at 91.0.

TEMPE — Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson caught a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter to overcome first-half miscues in a 35-31 win over Kansas on Saturday at Mountain America Stadium.
All even at 14s to start the second half, the final quarter saw five lead changes as Tyson cashed in the Sun Devil’s final two scores with 32-yard and 3-yard touchdown grabs.
With 2:04 remaining, ASU leaned heavily on the ground attack, with seven straight runs to set up the only pass of quarterback Sam Leavitt to Tyson.
Tyson’s game did not start off as successful. He fumbled in Kansas territory in the second quarter and later saw a tipped pass land with the Jayhawks for an interception before later finding redemption.
The sophomore wide out credited assistant coach and former Pittsburgh Steeler Hines Ward for helping him develop in such a short time period.
“On that (last) touchdown, (Ward) has been preaching, ‘Dig, dig, dig,’” Tyson said. “I dug. What happened? Touchdown. It’s everything. (Ward) has been there, done that. He’s not going to tell me nothing that’s wrong.”
Arizona State football leaned heavily on the run game in their final drive, setting up Sam Leavitt’s game-winning TD pass to Jordyn Tyson with 16 seconds on the clock.

Arizona State football coach Kenny Dillingham said he gave Tyson the game ball because the program is all about how players respond to mistakes.
“(Tyson) was about as upset as you could possibly be,” Dillingham said. “The fact that he could regather himself, and go execute and finish with a positive attitude is everything we’re trying to build here.”
ASU running back Cam Skattebo was key as well, rattling off several chunk-yardage runs to keep the Sun Devil hope alive. He did not quite match a 262-yard performance in a 30-23 win over Mississippi State, but the senior hustled for 186 ground yards on 25 carries. A 39-yard gain in the fourth quarter matched a season-high (also against Mississippi State) and Skattebo had six rushes for 10+ yards for a productive day.
Redshirt freshman Leavitt threw for a career-high four touchdowns on 14-of-24 passing while responsible for 157 yards. He also had success with his legs, Leavitt covering a career-high 77 yards on 10 carries, including 18 yards on the game-winning drive.
“We do 2-minute all the time in practice,” Leavitt said. “Dillingham just said fall back on your training. … We were able to bust a big run that helped us set (the game-winning touchdown) up. The O-line played a hell of a game. … A couple of plays early in the game, a couple of mistakes, but why would I ever lose faith?”
The Sun Devils strolled down the field for a opening 7-play, 75-yard score as Leavitt hooked up with wide receiver Xavier Guillory from 28 yards out. ASU has now scored a touchdown on its opening drive in four of its first five games.
Putting this game in the mix, Kansas has held a fourth-quarter lead in five of its six games. The Jayhawks had won eight straight when they did not a commit a turnover before Saturday.

A 107-degree kickoff temperature in Tempe was the hottest recorded since 2000. ASU played in record-type heat for the first time in October, as every other occasion occurred in late August or early September.
Junior defensive back Xavion Alford, who recorded three tackles, said he was not fazed by the scorching conditions.
“It did not feel like (107 degrees) to me,” Alford said. “It might have felt like that to (Kansas).”
Arizona State (4-1, 1-1) will now shift its focus to the Utes (4-1, 1-1), hosting their third Big 12 opponent of the season on Friday with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
