VALENTINE, Neb. – Senior Hayden Shieh drained a 4-foot putt on the final hole to secure his third career individual title and Santa Clara men's golf withstood a late challenge from Tennessee to hang on for the team title at The Jackrabbit.
After building a 10-shot lead with a program record 265 in the first-round, the Broncos held on to capture their first team title since winning the Arizona NIT during the 2015-16 season. Santa Clara scored a final-round 3-under 285 to finish at 39-under 825, three shots better than the Volunteers.
"We had a nail-biter at the end," head coach Rob Miller explained.
