Arizona freshman Guan Tianlang, of China, shot 75-72-71 in the UA's Intercollegiate win last week.
Arizona freshman golfer Tianlang Guan is known mostly for his remarkable success as a young teenager; at 14, he played in the 2013 Masters and made the cut, finishing just three strokes behind Phil Mickelson. Guan, who was recruited to Arizona by coach Jim Anderson, played with the UA starters in last week’s dazzling comeback victory to win the Arizona Intercollegiate championship over No. 3 Texas A&M and No. 6 Baylor, among others. Guan shot 75-72-71 in windy conditions. “Langly’s doing so well,” Anderson said. “He didn’t qualify in our team competition, but we picked him. It turned out to be a really good thing. We believe he’s clearly an outstanding player. In the final round, he went birdie, par, birdie to finish. That’s championship stuff.”
