The Arizona State Sun Devils and Arizona Wildcats men’s golf teams started their seasons on Sunday at Maricopa’s Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club as part of the Copper Cup, an event between the two schools in a Ryder Cup style tournament.
Day One consisted of Fourball or “Best Ball” and Single matches. Arizona holds a one point lead heading into Day Two, as top-ranked Arizona State trails 6.5-5.5.
Fourball
Arizona State’s David Puig and Ryggs Johnston won the first grouping 7&5 (meaning that they were leading by seven with five holes left). The Puig and Johnson pairing fell behind early before taking control from Hole 4 on.
