TEMPE – Sophomore David Puig wasn’t expected to be Arizona State’s hottest golfer this season. That honor was supposed to go to Chun An Yu, the fifth-ranked amateur in the world.
But it is Puig who has a chance to place his name alongside Phil Mickelson’s in the ASU record book by capturing the individual championship at The Prestige in Palm Desert, California, on Feb. 15-17.
If Puig can pull it off, it would be his third consecutive individual victory, tying him with Mickelson for the school record for consecutive individual tournament championships.
