May 31, 1997 USC Finishes 14th at NCAA Golf ChampionshipLAKE FOREST, Ill. - Pepperdine shot a final round 287 to win the 1997 NCAA Men's Golf Championship Saturday at Conway Farms Golf Club. The title is the first team in history for the Waves, which shot rounds of 287-288-286-287 to finish at 12-over-par 1,148. Wake Forest shot five-under-par 279 on Saturday, the lowest round of the tournament by any team, to move from 11th place into second place, three strokes behind Pepperdine. The Waves' victory came without the services of head coach John Geiberger, who was confined to his hotel room after coming down with the chicken pox. The individual title went to Clemson junior Charles Warren, who shot five-under-par 279 for the tournament. Warren and Texas' Brad Elder were tied at 279, after the conclusion of the fourth round. On the first playoff hole (18th hole), Elder's second shot found the rough. Warren putted in for a par five, while Elder posted a bogey. "It's by far the biggest thrill of my life," said Warren. "It really hasn't sunk in yet. It will be nice to go home and reflect on it." Final Team Results
