Wake Forest did what it needed to do Tuesday at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in Portland, Ore., firing a final-round, 11-under 277 to win the Nike Golf Collegiate Invitational by three shots.
The Demon Deacons held off both USC and Duke, which shot 10 under and 12 under, respectively, on Tuesday to tie for second.
Wake Forest, ranked 11th by Golfweek, placed just one player in the top 10 – Paul McBride (T-5) – but had three more in the top 20 with Will Zalatoris tying for 11th, Davis Womble finishing T-14 and Cameron Young tying for 19th.
