Ryggs Johnston fires 7-under 63 to boost ASU golf into third place

A lot of states come to mind when you think of golfing hotbeds — Arizona, California, Florida. It's safe to say Montana is not among them.

But it was an athlete from tiny Libby, Montana, stealing the show on Saturday at the NCAA National tournament at Scottsdale's Grayhawk Golf Club.

Arizona State sophomore Ryggs Johnston fired a second round of a career-best 7-under 63 over the par 70, 7,289-yard Raptor course. It marked the best individual round of the tournament thus far and boosted the host Sun Devils (2-over, 562) into third place after 36 holes right behind Oklahoma State (6-under, 554) and Oklahoma (1-under, 559).
