Top seeds Arizona State and Auburn eliminated in NCAA men's golf

CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — Ole Miss junior Tom Fischer won a thriller Tuesday, rallying from 4 down to win in 21 holes as the Rebels stunned Arizona State in a quarterfinals that saw both top seeds eliminated from the NCAA Men's Golf Championship.

Auburn, the defending champion and No. 2 seed, fell to Virginia. In the other two quarterfinal matches, Oklahoma State eased by Bedlam rival Oklahoma, and Florida rallied from an early deficit to knock off Texas.

The Sun Devils, who earned the No. 1 seed in stroke play at La Costa, were tied at 2 with eighth-seeded Ole Miss and Michael Mjaaseth appeared to be in control against Fischer, building a 4-up lead through seven holes.
