Oregon's Wise wins men's NCAA individual title

In his last event before turning pro, Oregon sophomore Aaron Wise picked up the biggest win of his amateur career.

Wise shot 1-over 71 Monday at Eugene Country Club, Oregon's home course, to win the NCAA Men’s Individual Championship by two shots over USC's Rico Huey.

Up two to start the day up and up four at the turn, Wise suddenly found himself tied for the lead with Oklahoma’s Mattias Schwab as he walked to the 17th tee following a pair of double bogeys at Nos. 12 and 16.

Spurred on by his local fans, Wise ripped a driver, found the green and faced the putt that would ultimately secure him the national title.
