Rubinson holds on to claim individual title

TCU senior Adam Rubinson held onto his lead by firing a 2-under-par round of 69 today at El Paso Country Club to claim the Western Refining College All-America Golf Classic title.

He is the second Horned Frog ever to win the event.

This year’s tournament consisted of 24 collegiate golfers, all of whom have received All-America accolades during their careers. Only nine golfers finished within 10 strokes of Rubinson, who cruised to victory.

“It was really a great time," Rubinson said. “Everyone out there was so supportive of the tournament and I felt like a lot of people were really pulling for me. It was a great one to win. For the most part I put the ball where I needed to off the tee, hit my irons well and made some short birdie putts. I just played really solid, smart golf.”

Rubinson shot a 71 and 68 on Monday, and he finished the tournament with a 54-hole total of 208.

Previously, former Frog Alberto Ochoa won the tournament in 1997 by virtue of a playoff.
