WAIKOLOA, Hawaii - Behind Franklin Huang's 3-under-par performance Saturday, Stanford wrapped up its spring opener by placing 10th among 18 teams at the Amer Ari Invitational.
Huang (69-70-69) finished under par in each of his three rounds during the 54-hole event, tying for 13th among individuals on the par-72 Waikoloa Kings' Course.
Stanford (288-282-282) was 6-under Saturday for the second consecutive round, finishing at 12-under overall.
Top-ranked Oklahoma State (-47) won the event. USC's Justin Suh (-13) claimed medalist honors.
"I'm proud of our guys and how they hung in there to knock off our winter rust while playing against some of the top teams in the country on Bermuda grass and against Hawaiian winds," said Conrad Ray, Stanford's Knowles Family Director of Men's Golf. "There were a lot of different variables and challenges on the course, and without question we have a long way to go in all areas, but there were also some very positive signs of improvement. It was fun to see Franklin Huang have a very good week on the individual front and his game is trending the right way. We're excited to look ahead to the The Prestige at PGA West."
Brandon Wu (75-68-71) tied for 37th at 2-under, logging four birdies in his final round. Isaiah Salinda (74-71-70) improved during each round and tied for 41st at 1-under.
Henry Shimp (72-73-72) tied for 51st and Ashwin Arasu (73-74-72) tied for 64th. Shimp had a pair of eagles during the tournament.
Bradley Knox (70-74-75) tied for 64th.
The Prestige at PGA West (Feb. 19-21) will mark Stanford's return to action when the Cardinal travels to La Quinta, California.
