The Pepperdine Men’s Golf Team earned their first team victory of the season in dominating fashion, finishing with a record-setting 37-stroke win over the opposition in the annual Waves Challenge this week. Junior Sahith Theegala acquired his second college win shooting 11-under and surpassing the competition with a school-record 16-shot margin of victory.
Held at the par-72 Saticoy Country Club in Somis, California, the Waves Challenge included 14 other teams. The tournament lived up to its name in part due to the difficulty of its course, but mainly as a result of the intense wind Monday, according to Head Coach Michael Beard.
