OU Men's Golf @ The Thunderbird: in Regular Season Finale in PHX

[OUBeliever56A]

The Oklahoma Men's Golf Team is in Phoenix, AZ for The Thunderbird at Papago Golf Club. The two-day, 54-hole event tees off on Friday morning and teams will play 36 holes before wrapping up the event with the final round on Saturday.

The Sooners won the event in 2022, firing a 821 (-31) to hold off the Sun Devils and a loaded field. The team's 821 was the fifth-lowest 54-hole score in tournament history. Oklahoma has produced one medalist — Jeff Mixon in 1997, who finished at 7-under.

Here is the Sooner staff writers article about the event.

It looks like that Jake Holbrook will be a playing member of the team this weekend instead of Drew Goodman. Goodman will play as an individual in the tourney.

The Oklahoma Sooner Men's golf Team could not rally as needed on Saturday as they shot a 2-over par 286 to finish at Even Par 852 for The Thunderbird. That placed the Sooners in 11th Place in the tourney. Arizona State, the host shot a very good 38-under par for a 814 total. OU finished behind four other Big 12 teams in the tourney. Baylor finished at 1-under par, Texas Tech was at 2-under par, Houston was 3-under par and Oklahoma State was 10-under par. I mention that because this was the final regular season tourney as the Big 12 teams will play in the Big 12 Championships at Whispering Pines GC in Trinity, Texas, from April 22-24. Oklahoma has won back-to-back Big 12 titles and three since 2018. The championship is Oklahoma's last as a Big 12 member.

Here is the Sooner staff writers article about the final 18 holes on Saturday.
