UCLA eighth at Prestige Tourney
The UCLA men’s golf team finished eighth with an overall

“I was expecting to do a bit better,” UCLA head
coach Brad Sherfy said. “We’re not trying to finish in
middle of pack ““ we’re trying to win events.”
Washington took home the win, while Kansas and Colorado tied for
second. Davis took fifth while Stanford finished 11th. Sophomore
John Merrick was UCLA’s top finisher, shooting a 208 earning
