Wenyi Ding Wins 118th Southern Amateur
Sun Devil Wenyi Ding had one of the best freshmen seasons in Sun Devil history last year across all sports.
He is keeping it rolling this summer with a great victory in a 156-player field over the weekend.
On Saturday he won the 118th Southern Amateur at Idle Hour Country Club in Lexington, Ky., with a 6-under 64 to close the tournament and finish at 18-under 262 (66-69-63-64). He is the first amateur golfer from China to win the Southern Amateur Champion and just the fourth international player to be on the George W. Adair trophy.
