Utah Tech freshman David Liechty picked up his second individual tournament victory of the season, doing so record fashion at the Seattle U Redhawk Invitational, which wrapped up play on Tuesday at Chambers Bay Golf Course. 

With the victory, Liechty became the first Utah Tech men's golfer to win medalist honors twice in a single season during the program's brief NCAA Division I era. The Trailblazer freshman also became the fourth player in the program's four-year era overall to win at least two individual season events.
 
Former Blazer standout Kenny You won three tournaments during the 2014-15 spring season, while the duo Jayce Frampton (fall) and Nicklaus Britt (spring) both won two tournaments in the 2017-18 campaign. 
 
After opening the 54-hole event with a 2-under 70 on his Monday morning loop, Liechty rolled seven birdies and an eagle on his way to a career collegiate low 8-under 64 and a six-shot lead after 36 holes. 
 
Liechty's 64 was second-lowest individual 18-hole score record in Utah Tech's NCAA era, while his two-round total of minus-10 134 tied the school's 36-hole scoring record that Britt posted twice in 2017 and 2019.
 
Liechty then went out on final loop on Tuesday and fired a 6-under 66 with another eagle and five more birdies to finish with a 54-hole total of minus-16 200.
 
The freshman's three-round total of 200 also tied the program's 54-hole scoring record, which Britt shot on his way to winning the 2019 RMAC conference individual title. 
 
As a team, the Trailblazers placed 10^th-overall with a three-round total score of plus-20 884. Utah Tech got off to a great start on Monday morning, vaulting all the way up the leaderboard into second place at even par 288, four shots back of first round leader UC San Diego (-4; 284).
 
Utah Tech battled the rain drops during its Monday afternoon round and combined to shoot 14-over 302, which dropped the Blazers into a tie for seventh at plus-14 590. The Trailblazers then closed with a 6-over 294 on Tuesday. 
 
Junior Ashton McArthur put together a solid three rounds, starting with four birdies as part of an opening even par 72. Then after carding a 3-over 75 in round two, McArthur came back with four more birdies on Tuesday on his way to a 1-under 71 to tie five others for 26^th at plus-2 218.
 
Meanwhile, sophomore Frank Miao (74-82-76) tied for 63^rd at plus-16 232, followed by junior Braden Anderson (72-81-81) in a tie for 68^th at plus-18 234, while freshman Joe Zhou (76-84-81) in t-78^th at plus-25 241.
 
Utah Tech will close out the 2025-26 regular season with an appearance at the UC Santa Barbara Gaucho Invitational, which will be played next Monday and Tuesday, at Sandpiper Golf Club in Goleta, Calif.
