October 04, 2022 | Men's Golf
FORT WORTHĀ ā The Oklahoma men's golf team closed play at the Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational at Colonial Country Club on Tuesday by posting a 282 (+2), its lowest round of the tournament.
Oklahoma (855, +15) finished tied with No. 8 Georgia Tech for 12th in the 16-team field that featured 13 ranked teams, including seven of the top-10 teams in the latest coaches poll. The No. 2-ranked Sooners played the event without their highest-ranked player, Patrick Welch, who makes his PGA TOUR debut this week at the Shriners Children's Open in Las Vegas.Ā
Four Sooners, including Luke Kluver and Stephen Campbell Jr., birdied their first hole on Tuesday to open the final round of the 54-hole tournament to move OU into the top 10. On Tuesday, Kluver and Campbell Jr. led the Oklahoma contingent with matching 69s (-1), joining Jase Summy with a round in the 60s at Colonial.
Summy (T27, +2), a freshman making his third start, was Oklahoma's top finisher in a tie for 27th. After opening the event with a 67 (-3), the Keller, Texas, product posted a 74 (+4) on Monday afternoon, followed by a 71 (+1) in Tuesday's final round to finish his week at 2-over.
Campbell Jr.'s (T37, +4) final round of 69 (-1) moved him 15 spots up the leaderboardĀ Tuesday to finish with a share of 37th. Jake Holbrook (T47, +6) posted rounds of 71-72-73 at the par-70 course to finishĀ 47th.
Kluver and Drew Goodman shared 60th at 9-over par.
Oklahoma finished the tournament with 47 birdies, third most in the field, but a field-low 156 pars pushed the Sooners down the leaderboard. North Carolina, ranked 13th in the nation, finished at 15-under par to win by nine strokes. TCU's Gustav Frimodt won the individual title on his home course at 8-under par.
The 12th-place finish snapped Oklahoma's 27-tournament streak of top-five team finishes, which dated back to the start of the 2020-21 season. Oklahoma finished seventh at the 2020 Southern Highlands Collegiate, the team's final tournament before the rest of the 2020 season was canceled. During the streak, the Sooners won 12 tournaments, the most successful two-year stretch in program history.Ā
Head coach Ryan Hybl and his team will look to rebound at the Big 12 Match Play Championship, slated for Oct. 17-19 at the Golf Club at Houston Oaks.
