USC’s victory was anchored by strong performances throughout the lineup, highlighted by Jack Buchanan, who finished in a tie for the individual title. The Trojans entered the final round with momentum after a dominant second round of 334 (-16). Despite a final-round 353 (+3), they held off a surging California squad that finished at 1038 (-12).

In the individual competition, Buchanan and Dean Greyserman (Stanford) shared co-champion honors, both finishing at 200 (-10) for the tournament. Greyserman delivered the performance of the day, carding a spectacular final-round 62 (-8) to vault into the tie.
