TUCSON — New Mexico finished a distant second to San Diego State on Sunday in the Mountain West Men’s Golf Championship. And it isn’t that the Lobos lost it as much as the Aztecs seized it.
San Diego State shot a record 60-under par (804) on the par-72 7,194-yard course at Omni Tucson National. Their 25-stroke win over the second-place Lobos (35-under 829) is a tournament record for margin of victory. Those two teams and third-place UNLV (34-under 830) all broke the previous record low 54-hole score of 831, set by the 2019 Lobos.
UNM coach Glen Millican couldn’t complain: “To shoot 35-under means we played good golf all week.
