CAREFREE, Ariz. (April 28, 2024) – Washington State men's golf played the final round of the 2024 Pac-12 Men's Golf Championships on Sunday, finishing in 11th place with a four-round score of 98-over, 1,518 at the par 71, 7,203-yard Desert Forest Golf Club.

"It was a tough week," said Head Coach Dustin White. "We knew the course would test all parts of the game and then the wind just made it that much harder. The guys battled and did their best to minimize mistakes. We got better each round and did a nice job of adapting to the conditions. While it might not look all that great on paper, the guys played hard and really hung in playing 5-count-5 the last 36 holes."

WSU finished round four at 16-over, 371 behind an even-par day from Sam Renner. Arizona State won the tournament at 27-over, 1,447, and Stanford's Karl Vilips was the individual champion at 2-under, 282.
