There’s no faking it around Southern Highlands Golf Club, so it’ll be worth remembering come postseason time that Southern Cal and Florida standout freshman Sam Horsfield each scored impressive victories there.
Fourth-ranked USC, last year’s NCAA finalists, won the team title Wednesday at 5-over 869, four shots clear of Florida. Oklahoma was third at 879.
The Southern Highlands Collegiate in Las Vegas is the top-ranked event during the regular season, with nine top-20 teams competing on a punishing setup that always crowns a deserving champion.
Only four players finished the 54-hole event under par. Leading the way was Horsfield, Florida’s superb freshman and the protégé of PGA Tour player Ian Poulter.
