Washington senior Petr Hruby won the Lamkin Invitational by four strokes at 12-under 204. Hruby shot 71-64-69 at San Diego Country Club to lead the Huskies to third-place tie at 7-under 857.
The victory marks the first career tournament win for Hruby, who entered with four prior top-five finishes. It is the first time a Husky has won a tournament since Noah Woolsey won the Pac-12 Championship last year.
“So happy for and proud of Petr,” UW coach Alan Murray said. “His ability has never been in doubt, but it was just a matter of piecing it all together and he did that in style this week.”
Finishing ahead of the Huskies were New Mexico (20-under 844) and tournament host, San Diego State (19-under 845).
Hruby collected three birdies in the final round, two coming back-to-back on holes 14 and 15.
“He played so well and was so composed, never got flustered and showed amazing poise and composure to go along with a monster golf game,” Murray said. “He has shown what he is capable of, and I know that he will be hungry for more after this week.”
