UNLV junior John Oda shot 4-under par and tied for sixth in the Southern Highlands Collegiate at Southern Highlands Golf Club. As a team, the Rebels shot a combined 10-over par and also finished tied for sixth in their home tournament.
USC shot 11-under par and won the team title. Grant Hischman of Oklahoma won a one-hole playoff with California’s Colin Morikawa for the individual title after both finished regulation tied at 6-under par.
Heading into the tournament, Oda was inspired by the “wise words” of UNLV coach Dwaine Knight.
“One thing that I really liked this week is he said for us to believe,” Oda said.
