March 03, 2026 | Men's Golf

LAS VEGAS – Oklahoma men's golf posted the second-lowest combined score over the final 36 holes but couldn't fully recover from a difficult opening round, finishing sixth Tuesday at the Southern Highlands Collegiate.

The 14th-ranked Sooners (6th, +4) opened the 54-hole tournament at Southern Highlands Golf Club with a 10-over 298 on Sunday and sat last in the 15-team field. Oklahoma surged up the leaderboard over the final two rounds, highlighted by a 6-under 282 in Monday's second round, the second-lowest score of the day, before closing with an even-par 288 on Tuesday to finish sixth.

Two Sooners, Ryder Cowan and PJ Maybank III, recorded top-15 finishes in a field that featured eight ranked teams, including the nation's top four in the latest Clippd rankings. The tournament also included 35 of the nation's top-100 players.

Cowan paced Oklahoma, carding rounds of 75-70-69 to finish tied for 13th at 2-under par. The junior All-American now has five top-20 finishes in six events this season and 19 in 31 career tournaments.

Maybank tied for 14th at 1-under after rounds of 75-67-73. The Cheboygan, Mich., native opened the spring with a T9 finish at the Puerto Rico Classic and now owns three top-20 finishes this season.

Clark Van Gaalen (+5) tied for 37th, while freshman Coltrane Mittag (T58, +10) and Jase Summy (T67, +12) rounded out the Oklahoma lineup.

Texas' Christian Maas won medalist honors at 10-under par, edging Virginia's Josh Duangmanee (-9) and Auburn's Jackson Koivun (-8). 

Oklahoma returns to action March 16-17 at the Arizona Thunderbirds Collegiate in Tucson.
