GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Justin Wiles won individual medalist honors and the 4th-ranked Chico State men's golf team finished second at the Western New Mexico University Fall Intercollegiate Tuesday at the Golf Club at Estrella in Goodyear, Ariz.
 
Wiles began the day in a three-way tie for first. The junior All-American fired a 2-under par 70 in the final round to finish in a flat-footed tie with Colorado Christian's Michael Goddard at 8-under. The tie was not broken.
 
The Chico State team finished 3-under for the tournament, five shots behind two-time defending National Junior College Champion South Mountain Community College.  They were the only two programs to finish under par. Cameron finished third at 1-over, followed by Arizona State at 11-over and Cal State San Bernardino at 12-over.
