Sun Devil Wenyi Ding had one of the best freshmen seasons in Sun Devil history last year across all sports.

He is keeping it rolling this summer with a great victory in a 156-player field over the weekend.

On Saturday he won the 118th Southern Amateur at Idle Hour Country Club in Lexington, Ky., with a 6-under 64 to close the tournament and finish at 18-under 262 (66-69-63-64). He is the first amateur golfer from China to win the Southern Amateur Champion and just the fourth international player to be on the George W. Adair trophy.
