Freshman Hudson Ross of the South Mountain Community College men's golf team won the Sundance Invite hosted by Ottawa Univeristy (AZ) on Sept. 23-24 at Sundance Golf Course in Buckeye, Ariz. Hudson carded a seven-under 65 in the second round to finish at -3 (141) and win individual medalist honors by three strokes over competitors from the OUAZ men's team.

Ross rebounded from a four-over 76 in the first round to card a tournament-best 65 in his second round. He was one of three student-athletes to post a round under par over the two days, and Ross was the only competitor to finish with a round in the 60s.
