LA QUINTA, Calif. - For the second consecutive season, the TCU men's golf team captured the tournament championship at The Prestige at PGA West after running around from the field by 16 strokes on Tuesday in La Quinta, Calif.
The Horned Frogs finished the tournament with a team score of 14-under-par 850 (289-285-276) to capture their first championship of the season while Stanford (866), Washington (869), UCLA (874) and USC (874) rounded out the top-five.
In addition, the Frogs had the individual tournament champion as Daniel Jennevret (Sandviken, Sweden | Bessemer Sandviken) posted a 12-under-par score of 204 (69-67-68) to win the title by six strokes. Jennevret held a four-stroke advantage heading into the third round of action and posted a 4-under-par score of 68 on the final 18 holes to secure the tournament championship.
Jennevret - who was competing in his second collegiate event - tied a program record for the fastest TCU golfer to claim a tournament championship.

Eli Cole (Beverly Hills, Calif. | Harvard-Westlake H.S.) and Pontus Gad (Linkoping, Sweden | Klippans Gymasieskola) each finished tied for 26th overall following a 5-over-par score of 221.
Scott Roudebush (Austin, Texas | Austin H.S.) - who was competing as an individual - finished tied for 34th overall with a score of 223 (74-75-74) while Tom Hoge (Fargo, N.D. | Fargo South H.S.) finished tied for 37th overall with a score of 224 (74-78-72).
