Three swell things happened Monday at Riviera: Jordan Spieth showed up less than 24 hours after winning the AT&T National Pro-Am to play in the third annual Collegiate Showcase, Pepperdine won the team competition led by Web.com Tour Player Jeff Gove (good for $50,000 to the program), and Pepperdine's Saweeth Theegala won low medalist honors and a spot in this week's Genesis Open.

The Chino Hills sophomore posted a 69 to beat UCLA's Tyler Collier by one.

He spoke to Golf Central following the round.

And he was well supported in the effort:
