Golfers Fighting More Than Regional Competition

SOUTH BEND, Ind. The Sooners had more to battle than just 26 teams during the first round of the NCAA Central Regional, which was suspended due to darkness with 12 teams still on the course.

Ninth-seeded Oklahoma (+25) is currently in 24th place, 24 strokes behind leader Tulsa and 15 strokes away from the tenth-place qualifying position for the national championships.

Delayed by thunderstorms that plagued the Great Lakes region all day Thursday, the OU men's golf team had more to battle than poor course conditions as three of the five members were stricken with food poisoning.
