Pac-12 honors WSU golfer Snyder

College men’s golf: Senior Blake Snyder of Washington State was named an All-Pac-12 honorable mention, the conference announced.

Snyder is the first Cougar to garner conference honors since Kevin Tucker was named to the All-Pac-10 second team in 2010.

Snyder’s year was highlighted by four top-five finishes, including a tie for first place at the Itani Quality Homes Collegiate in September.

His fourth-place finish at the Pac-12 Championships last weekend marked the best finish at a conference tournament in the Cougars men’s program history.
