Watch one of best walk-off wins you'll ever see in college golf

Washington senior Finn Koelle recorded a walk-off ace to take the individual title by two shots Sunday at the Sahalee Players Championship.

On Sunday at Sahalee Country Club, a remarkable walk-off victory unfolded in college golf. Washington senior Finn Koelle found himself tied for the individual lead at the Sahalee Players Championship, sharing the top spot with Oklahoma State's Eric Lee on the 214-yard, par-3 ninth hole. With a single swing of his 5-iron, Koelle secured an ace, also giving him the individual championship by a margin of two strokes.

Koelle, hailing from Sulzfeld, Germany, concluded the 54-hole event, Washington's first of the season, at a 7-under 66. This performance, coupled with his ace, secured a third-place finish for Washington as a team, trailing preseason No. 1 Florida by two shots. Oklahoma State emerged victorious in the team competition, leading by an impressive 28 shots, thanks to top-5 finishes from their other All-Americans, Preston Stout and Ethan Fang.

Koelle, who was last year's Big Ten individual runner-up, had an impressive summer, placing 30th at the BMW International Open on the DP World Tour and reaching the Round of 32 at the U.S. Amateur.
