SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – For a nation-leading sixth consecutive year, the Oklahoma men's golf team has advanced to NCAA Match Play after finishing in a tie for first place following 72 holes of stroke play at the NCAA Championships at Grayhawk Golf Club.

The Sooners (T1, +14), who earned the No. 2 seed following a tiebreaker with Vanderbilt and North Carolina, will take on host university and seventh-seeded Arizona State in Tuesday morning's quarterfinal. A victory in the morning session would earn a semifinal battle with either No. 3 North Carolina or No. 6 Pepperdine.

"We didn't play our best today for sure," head coach Ryan Hybl said. "But when it was all said and done, we got the job done and checked our second box for the week and will head into match play. We're looking forward to the challenge that waits for us. These guys did a great job all week long, especially early on to put us in a spot so that we didn't have too much stress coming into today."

Chris Gotterup (T5, +1) finished in a tie for fifth at the championship but was just one stroke off the lead. The redshirt senior battled brutal conditions on Monday, signing for a 74 (+4) on the day. He entered the 18th tee box at even-par and in a tie for the lead, but a bogey on the final hole dropped him out of the eventual individual playoff that Vanderbilt's Gordon Sargent won. Gotterup officially earned the No. 6 spot in the PGA Tour U rankings after opening the season outside of the top 60.

Patrick Welch (T15, +6), who fired the championship's low round of 63 on Sunday, finished in a tie for 15th. On Monday, the senior carded a 77 (+7) to drop him out of title contention, but a clutch birdie on No. 17 moved him from 20th to 15th on the leaderboard. Welch led the field with 18 birdies on the week.

True freshman Drew Goodman (T20, +7) fired OU's low round of the day, posting a 73 (+3) to finish 20th at his first national championship. The Norman product posted 70-70-74-73 for a 287 on the week. Thriving on par-five holes, Goodman was 3-under on the course's longest holes for the week, sixth-best in the field.

Logan McAllister (T25, +8) locked in a top-five spot in the PGA Tour U rankings, securing a spot on the Korn Ferry Tour after the championship ends. The senior from Oklahoma City signed for a 74 (+4) to wrap up his collegiate stroke-play career. In his three years in the OU lineup, McAllister posted 20 top-20 finishes, 12 top 10s and four wins, the second-most in school history behind only Anthony Kim.

Gotterup and McAllister are both finalists for the Fred Haskins Award, awarded annually to the nation's top golfer. An announcement naming the award's 2022 winner will be made Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. CT on Golf Channel.

Stephen Campbell Jr., who subbed in for Ben Lorenz after the second round, wrapped up stroke play with a counting score of 74 (+4) on Monday. On Tuesday, the redshirt freshman will remain in the lineup for the Sooners' matchup with ASU.

Top-ranked Oklahoma's quarterfinal battle with the Sun Devils tees off at 8:20 a.m. CT. Live coverage of the match will be aired on Golf Channel beginning at 11 a.m. CT. A win in the morning would punch OU's ticket to its second consecutive semifinal, which would be played on Tuesday afternoon vs. the winner of North Carolina and Pepperdine.

In 2021, the Sooners knocked off Arizona State 3-2 in the national semifinal. Logan McAllister is the lone holdover from that match where he defeated Mason Andersen 4&3.

The full bracket in order of seed includes: No. 3 Vanderbilt, No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 5 North Carolina, No. 7 Texas, No. 2 Oklahoma State, No. 6 Pepperdine, No. 4 Arizona State and No. 8 Texas Tech. It's the first time since match play was introduced in 2009 that Golfstat's top eight teams all advanced to match play.
