LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The No. 1 ranked UWF men's golf team and Chandler Blanchet cruised to the team and individual titles at the Las Vegas Desert Classic on Tuesday at the Royal Links Golf Club.
 
A day after opening up a 15-stroke lead in the team race, UWF was the only group to play under par in the final round, posting a 3-under 285 on its way to a 28-stroke victory with a 858 total. The win was the Argonauts' third-consecutive Classic crown and fifth in the last six years.
 
UWF has won 11 of its last 16 team tournaments and not finished lower than third in any event.
 
Senior Chandler Blanchet coasted to his second-consecutive wire-to-wire win in Las Vegas, using a 68 for a season-low 67-65-68=200, 54-hole total. He played the par 5s on Tuesday at 4-under-par and 10-under-par for the week with seven birdies, two eagles and a bogey.

Blanchet's 200 is tied for the second-lowest 54-hole score in school history. 
 
Junior Jacob Huizinga used a final round 2-under-par 70 to climb 12 spots into a tie for eighth at 78-71-70=219. It was his fourth top-10 finish in six events this season.
