April 28, 1999 SEATTLE -- Paul Casey fired a 10-under-par course-record 60 in the final round of the Pac-10 Men's Golf Championships to lead Arizona State to its fifth-straight conference title. Casey recorded 11 birdies in his record-setting effort on the 6,186-yard, par-70 course at Broadmoor Golf Club to secure medalist honors for the second-straight season with a 15-under 72-hole total of 265. The Sun Devils finished the tournament with a Pac-10 record 3-over 1403. UCLA was second, 21 strokes off the pace with a 1424. Casey's final round 60 is believed to be a collegiate record.

Washington carded 1440 to finish fourth after posting 365 in Wednesday's final round.
