Former San Diego State Aztec Xander Schauffele took home the gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics for the men’s individual golf event, adding another accomplishment to his impressive career.
In his three years at SDSU, Schauffele was a third-team All-American in 2015, securing two individual titles over his three years and he was a seven-time Mountain West golfer of the week.
Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, was his college teammate. Schauffele said he attributes a large amount of his personal golf success to his lifelong friend and Kaiser said their friendship runs deep.
