SANTA BARBARA - Xander Schauffele birdied the 18th hole in the final round of the OGIO-Santa Barbara Invitational to win individual medalist by one stroke and lead No. 40-ranked Long Beach State to their fourth team title this year.

LBSU overcame a five-stroke deficit to first-place and No. 35 Saint Mary's going into Tuesday's final round at the Sandpiper Golf Club. The 49ers improved by two shots for a final round score of 289 to overtake the lead from Saint Mary's, as the Gaels recorded a 299.

LBSU finished the 54-hole tournament with a 10-under 854, winning by nine strokes over second-place Saint Mary's (-1) and 22 shots over tournament host UC Santa Barbara (+12) in third.

Saint Mary's Anders Engell, who led after two rounds, had birdied the 17th to break a tie with Schauffele and take a one-shot lead heading into the final hole. Engell bogeyed on the 18th, while Schauffele made birdie to capture his first career tournament win. Engell has led entering the final round of four straight tournaments, was 8-under after two rounds and was 1-over on Tuesday.

Schauffele carded the second lowest score of the tournament with a final round 68 to finish at 8-under 208. The freshman from San Diego was one of four players to record two eagles during the tournament and a total of 12 birdies.

Senior Kevin Lim and junior Raymond Ho tied for fourth with a 1-under 215. Lim, the Big West Conference Golfer of the Month for March, posted a 73 to record his third consecutive top-10 finish and lead the field of 70 players with 13 birdies for the tournament. Ho shot a 71 and led the 49ers with 36 pars for his third top-10 finish this season.

Senior Kevin Roy carded a 73 to move up one spot to tie for seventh to finish at even-216. This is Roy's fourth top-10 this year and ninth overall.
