Currently the sixth-ranked amateur in the world, Thorbjornsen birdied four of his last eight holes to shoot a final-round 66 and win by one over Florida’s Ricky Castillo (Ranked 23rd) and Illinois’ Adrien Dumont De Chassart (Ranked 6th).

Stanford placed four players in the top-12, with junior Karl Vilips finishing T6 and seniors Ethan Ng and Barclay Brown finishing T9 and T12, respectively.
