WAIKOLOA, Hawai'i — After flirting with a spot in the top 10 earlier in the day, the UC Davis men's golf team wrapped up a stay in Hawai'i with a 14th-place finish at the 29th annual Amer Ari Invitational at the Waikoloa Kings Golf Course on Saturday afternoon.

The Aggies finished with a final round 291 to end the three-day event at 2-over as a team, placing ahead of No. 25 Stanford (4-over) and No. 26 Oregon State (14-over), as well as Big West Conference rivals CSUN (9-over) and Hawai'i (21 over).

Top-ranked Pepperdine stormed back to win the team title, entering the day in a tie for fourth before firing a final round 270 to finish at 39-under for the tournament, beating No. 19 Texas by two strokes.

Individually, the Waves' William Mouw and Arizona State's Mason Andersen tied for medalist honors at 13-under, with Mouw winning in a playoff.

Freshman Lucas Carper was the Aggies' biggest mover on the day, firing a 3-under 69 to close out his tournament, finishing with five birdies to pick up three shots on his 36-hole total.

Entering the day in a tie for ninth, junior Thomas Hutchison slipped back to the pack on the tournament's final day, shooting a final-round 75 to finish the event at 4-under and a tie for 32nd. After opening even on the first six holes, a double-bogey and a bogey on No. 16 and No. 17 put him at 3-over for the back, before posting three birdies on the front to finish his round even.

Sophomore Daniel Kim was 1-over for the day thanks to a 1-under finish on the front and finished in a tie for 71st, freshman Jacob Westberg was 2-over in the final round and placed 90th at 5-over, and sophomore Shane Muldowney finished his tournament with a 4-over 76, ending his tournament in a tie for 91st.

UC Davis returns to the course in a little over a week, heading to La Quinta, Calif., to host The Prestige Presented by Charles Schwab from Feb. 17-19 at the Greg Norman Course at PGA WEST.
