2024 CABO COLLEGIATE RECAP

Host Course: Twin Dolphin Club

During our second year at Twin Dolphin Club in Los Cabos, Mexico, we hosted another strong field stacked with the top ranked amateurs in college golf. The golf course did not disappoint - it was a battle for 54 holes to determine which student-athlete would claim the Medalist trophy.




Arizona State University (-19) began Round 3 one stroke behind 36-hole leader & Host University of Arkansas, and the Sun Devils did not slow down - their final round of 11-under par beat runner-up Texas Tech University (-10) by 9 strokes. Congratulations, ASU! It was an impressive victory. Arkansas finished 3rd with the only other score under-par (-2); Vanderbilt University was 4th, (+1), followed by University of Mississippi (T5, +5) and Florida State University (T5, +5). Rounding out the Top 10 were University of Tennessee (7th, +8); University of Houston and Stanford University (T8, +11) and University of California (10th, +13). Also in the field: University of Arizona, Baylor University, Rice University, Oklahoma State University, and Columbia University.


Michael Thorbjornsen of Stanford University is our 2024 Medalist and earned a PGA TOUR exemption to play the 2024 WWT Championship in Los Cabos. Thorbjornsen fired a 65 in the second round to put himself in great position to begin the final 18 holes; however, this group of top collegiate players kept the competition alive until the final hole was played, each ending their rounds with eagles & birdies. Thorbjornsen took the trophy and the coveted PGA TOUR exemption with a final score of 10-under-par. When asked how he feels to know he will return to Cabo in November to play the WWT Championship, Michael responded “That’s music to my ears!” Our congratulations to the contenders chasing the trophy who finished within 3 strokes of “THOR”: Michael La Sasso of Ole Miss (2nd, -9); Preston Summerhays of Arizona State (3rd, -8), and Jacob Scov Olesen of Arkansas & Jake Hall of Tennessee, both T4 at 7-under.

2023 CABO COLLEGIATE RECAP

For the second consecutive year, Vanderbilt University claims the Championship and takes Medalist honors at the inaugural Cabo Collegiate hosted by Twin Dolphin Club.





Vanderbilt, ranked number one in the country, led the tournament after each round, culminating with a 12-stroke victory (-18) over runner-up University of Mississippi (-6). Arizona State University was the only other program to finish under par (-1) to capture 3rd place.

The Commodores were led by Freshman Wells Williams, who claimed the Individual title by carding 10-under-par over 54 holes (71, 65, 67).

“That’s probably the best we’ve played as group all year,” said Vanderbilt coach Scott Limbaugh. “Just to see Wells step up like that. It’s really cool. Six weeks ago, he never played for us, ever and here he is winning the biggest tournament of the spring.”

Three players tied for 2nd at minus-5: Brett Schell of Ole Miss, after a 3rd round course record 64; Chase Sienkiewicz of University of Arizona; and Frederik Kjettrup of Florida State University. Preston Summerhays of Arizona State (-4, T5) and Matthew Riedel of Vanderbilt (-4, T5) round out the Top Five.

Each player contributed to the score necessary to best #7 ranked Texas Tech, Florida State & #3 ranked Arkansas, each of whom were in contention throughout the final round. Vandy’s Reid Davenport carded an eagle in his final round on a day where the team recorded 23 birdies; however, the star was clearly Sophomore Cole Sherwood, who fired a final round 61, setting the new record for a single round at the Cove Club. Sherwood took a commanding lead over Stanford’s Michael Thorbjornsen of Stanford (runner-up at minus-13) in a round that included three eagles and five birdies for Sherwood, also setting a Vanderbilt low score record for 18 holes.

“I wasn’t thinking about my score,” said Cole Sherwood. “I was focused on the team. I knew we had a lot of ground to make up. There were some good teams ahead of us. I never really thought about individual.” “I focused on making birdies and eagles for my teammates.” Cole Sherwood

Chasing Vanderbilt for the trophy were the top ranked teams in the country. Texas Tech claimed 2nd (822/ 281, 279, 262) and shot the low round of the day (-22), led by Ludvig Aberg’s minus-8, 63.

2020 CABO COLLEGIATE RECAP

Arizona State Captures 2020 Title By 8 Strokes over Texas A&M



Arizona State Captures 2020 Title By 8 Strokes over Texas A&M

Arizona State, led by a trio of 3-under-68s from David Puig, Cameron Sisk, and Ryggs Johnston passed in-state rival and 36-hole leader Arizona in blustery wind to take an 8-stroke victory at 20-under-par 832. Their third-round total of 274 was 10-under-par. This was a sweet victory for the Arizona State Sun Devils.

“The last two years, we had a chance to win and Oklahoma State beat us both times,” said Arizona State coach Matt Thurmond. “We are so excited to finally hold the trophy.”

The ASU counting scores by Johnston, a freshman from Libby, Mont.; Puig, a freshman from Spain; Sisk, a sophomore from San Diego, Calif., and the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year in 2019 were completed by a 1-under 70 from junior Mason Andersen, of Chandler, Arizona.

“That round today was beyond what I could have expected,” Thurmond said. The Sun Devils, who were in third place through 36 holes, made an early move as Puig logged four birdies in his first six holes and Sisk was 3-under through two holes with a birdie-eagle start.

“It was huge for our team to have a couple of hot starts,” Sisk said. “It put us in a good position for the rest of the round. I didn’t really know where we were, but I knew it was a big boost for our team and me individually.”

Arizona State and 2nd place finisher Texas A&M were the only teams to break par in the windiest conditions of the three-day event.

Taking Top 5 finish honors were 3rd Vanderbilt (-10), 4th Arizona (15) and 5th Baylor (-3) .

Rounding out the Top 10 were
6th Stanford (+1)
T7 Florida State & Alabama (+3)

Walker Lee of Texas A&M Fires 7-under 64 to Lead Individual Standings, Take Medalist honor



Runner-up Texas A&M climbed six places on the strength of medalist Walker Lee’s 7-under 64 and Dan Erickson’s 69. The Aggies posted a Round 3 278 (6-under) and a 54-hole total of 840. But the buzz of the day was all about Walker Lee.

Lee, a junior from Houston, fired a bogey-free round that included a birdie-eagle finish on his last two holes for a 54-hole total of 205. Lee, who played in the 2017 U.S. Open, made five birdies and the eagle in Round 3.

“The strength of my game today was how smart I was,” Lee said. “There were a bunch of pins out there today that you couldn’t shoot at -- just play to the middle of the green and take your 20-footer and make your par and got to the next hole. Along with that, my irons were good today.”

Challenging Lee on the way to his first Medalist victory of the 2019-2020 season were Barclay Brown of Stanford and Johnny Keefer of Baylor (T2), each carding a minus-7. Top 5 finish honors were shared by a trio who finished at T4, each scoring minus-5: Julian Perico of Arkansas, Cooper Dossey of Baylor, and Jamie Li of Florida State.
