The Sooners tied for third last weekend in the Big 12 Men’s Golf Championship. That is a bit misleading, however, because five Big 12 schools, including Oklahoma, are ranked among the top 25 teams in NCAA Division I golf.
Oklahoma is ranked No. 7 in the country, according to Golfstat, and is making its ninth consecutive regional appearance in the 10-year run of Sooner head coach Ryan Hybl.
The Sooners also were a No. 1 seed a year ago, when they hosted and won the Norman Regional. Last year’s OU team advanced to the NCAA Championships before losing in the match-play quarterfinals to Auburn.
