Description: SAN DIEGO, Calif. The North Dakota State men’s golf team and senior Jack Johnson claimed the team title and medalist honors at the UC San Diego Invitational at Torrey Pines Golf Course on Tuesday.

The Bison put together a tournament-best round of 8-under 280 on the final day to pull away from the field and win by nine shots over Idaho. NDSU finished the event at 7-under 857. Idaho was second in the 17-team field at 2-over 866 and Oklahoma Christian was third at 4-over 868.



Johnson, who fired a 68 on Monday to move into a tie for the lead with Johannes Houndsgaard of Idaho, came back in the final round and posted six birdies and just one bogey to shoot a 5-under 67 and pull away from Houndsgaard to claim the medalist honors, winning by three strokes after finishing at 8-under 208 for the three-round event.



Ian Simonich and Nate Adams each carded final rounds of 70 to move up the leaderboards on the final day. Simonich had six birdies in his round and moved up to sixth, finishing the event at 1-under 215. Adams carded four birdies, including three straight on holes Nos. 10-12, to move up to a tie for 7th at 1-over 217.



Joining Adams in a tie for seventh was Josh Galvin, who played as an individual. Galvin carded five birdies and just one bogey in the final round to shoot a 4-under 68 to move up 26 spots and put four Bison in the top 10 in a 107-golfer field.



The victory is a second-straight team win this spring for the Bison after they claimed the Loyola Intercollegiate at the end of February. It is also the second-straight event that NDSU has claimed the medalist honors.



The Bison will return to action in mid-April at the Highland Meadows Intercollegiate in Sylvania, Ohio on April 15-16 before playing in Ohio State’s Robert Kepler Intercollegiate at Ohio State’s course in Columbus, Ohio April 19-21.
