The five-man Sooner squad narrowly made the cut for the final day of 18-hole match play on Monday, finishing in a tie for 14th, and it faced an enormous uphill challenge on Sunday to qualify as one of the eight teams, out of the 30-team field, for the match-play competition and the final stage of the national championship format.
OU won’t have much time to celebrate its Memorial Day accolades, however, as the Sooners are paired against Big 12 champion Texas on the first day of match play on Tuesday. The Longhorns hold the No. 2 seed in the tournament and finished first in stroke play with a 72-hole score of 14-over-par 1139.
