FAIRFIELD, Calif. – After ending stroke play with a WCC individual championship for junior Mahanth Chirravuri on Saturday, the Pepperdine men's golf team swept the 2025 conference titles, winning its 23rd West Coast Conference team championship on Sunday afternoon.

After posting a three-round score of 818 (277-269-272) (-46) and earning the top-seed in match play, the Waves defeated the Pacific Tigers 3.5-1.5 in the semifinals before defeating PCH Cup rival LMU 4-1 in the championship match to claim the WCC Title.

Pepperdine's conference-best 23rd team championship, and first since 2022, earned the team an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. With the postseason set to begin on May 12, Pepperdine will make its 28th NCAA Regional appearance in just over two weeks.

The 21st-ranked Waves will find out where they will be heading for NCAA Regionals during the NCAA selection show on Wednesday, April 30 at 10 a.m. The show will air live on the Golf Channel.

PACIFIC RECAP (SEMIFINAL)
#125 Brady Siravo birdied his first five holes to go 5-up on Daniel Henely in as many holes. After playing even for the next three holes, Siravo went 6-up at the turn. He held the advantage for the next four holes and defeated Daniel Henley 6&5 to give Pepperdine its first point.

Kris Kuvaas was 1-up thru 16, but Pacific's Timothy Jung tied the match 1-1 as he won the last two holes.

#51 Mahanth Chirravuri held an advantage thru six against Pacific's #74 Carlos Astiazara, but found himself 1-down at the turn. Chirravuri quickly tied things up with a birdie on hole 10 before taking the lead with another birdie on hole 15. However, Astiazaran birdied the 18th hole to tie the match and keep the semifinal tied (1.5-1.5).

Willy Walsh fell behind Pacific's Travis Robbie early, but tied his match with a par on hole 4. Walsh then went 1-up on hole 7 before going 2-up with a birdie on hole 10. He continued to hold the lead as he won his matchup 2&1 to put Pepperdine in front 2.5-1.5

Needing only a tie to win the match for the Waves, Luke Bailey was 2-up through four, but Deitrek Gill tied the match after hole 6. Bailey quickly retook the lead with a birdie on hole 7 before going 3-up through 10. Bailey continued to hold an advantage throughout the back nine as he went on to win 3&2 to put Pepperdine in the conference championship match against LMU as the Waves defeated the Pacific Tigers 3.5-1.5.

LMU RECAP (CHAMPIONSHIP)
Siravo continued his momentum from the previous match and was 3-up through five after playing the first five holes 2-under. LMU's Mason Snyder cut the deficit to one at the turn, but Siravo won three-straight holes to go 4-up thru 12 and ultimately put the Waves up 1-0 as he beat Snyder 4&3.

Alejandro Alonso held a 1-hole advantage over Bailey thru 2. However, Bailey posted back-to-back birdies to win holes 4 and 5 to flip the score in his favor. After taking the lead, Bailey continued to increase the gap between him and Alonso, ultimately winning 4&3 to put Pepperdine up 2-0 and one full point away from the title.

The Lions then cut their deficit in half (2-1) as Trevor Algya defeated Chirravuri 6&4.

With the Waves still needing just one more victory to take home the crown, Walsh and Kuvaas held leads in their matches with just a few holes to play. Finishing around the same time on holes 17 and 16, Walsh and Kuvaas clinched their matches with respective scores of 2&1 and 3&2 to help Pepperdine defeat PCH Cup rival LMU and claim its 23rd WCC team championship, and fifth in the last seven tournaments
