ASU Golf: Devils fall short against UNC, eliminated from NCAA tournament in quarterfinals

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Arizona State’s Men’s Golf season ended in heartbreaking fashion after falling to the University of North Carolina, 3-1. The Devils led in three of their five matches for most of the round before the golf gods, as ASU coach Matt Thurmond said, decided today wasn’t the Devil’s day.

“It was kind of shocking at the end,” Thurmond said. “It was a pretty crazy series of things that had to happen to flip it like that so quickly. They say golf is a game of inches, but really, it was.”

Freshman Michael Mjaaseth eyed down what may have been the biggest putt of his life for birdie and a sliver of hope for the Sun Devils.
