Oklahoma golf finishes 9th, just outside of cutline in 2024 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship
The men’s Oklahoma golf team finished one stroke outside the eight-team cutline that advances to match play in the 2024 NCAA Golf Championship.
The Sooners finished with a 72-hole team score of 25 over par 1178, just one behind the eighth-place team, Georgia Tech at the par-72 Omni La Costa North Course in Carlsbad, California.
Thirty teams advanced out of regional competition to the NCAA Championship. After 54 holes of stroke play over the weekend, the field was cut in half to 15 teams. The 15 teams remaining in the championship played 18 holes on Monday to determine the eight teams for match play on Tuesday and Wednesday. The last team standing after match play will be crowned 2024 national champion in men’s golf.
No Big 12 teams advanced beyond Monday’s stroke play. Texas finished 13th (1183, +31) and Baylor was 14th ( 1189, +37).
Oklahoma failed to make the cut despite posting two of the best rounds over the final two days of stroke play. The Sooners shot 13 over par 301 on the first day of the 54 holes, the second highest score of the 15 teams competing, and they weren’t any better on Day 2 at 14 over to go down +29 after 36 holes.
The Sooners’ performance over the first two days literally cost them the chance to advance to match play. Over the final 36 holes, OU was two under par in the third round and one over par in the final 18 holes on Monday.
Sooner sophomore Jase Summy was OU’s highest finisher on the individual leaderboard at five-under-par for the 72-hole stroke play. Senior All-American Ben Lorenz tied for 37th at +7 along with teammate Drew Goodman. True freshman Ryder Cowan tied for 67th at +14.
This was head coach Ryan Hybl’s Sooners’ 13th straight NCAA appearance. Oklahoma won the national championship in 2017 and was runner-up to Pepperdine in 2021. OU also won a national title in golf in 1989 under head coach Gregg Grost.
Oklahoma has finished in the top 10 of the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship seven times in the last eight years and 21 times in program history.
OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — If you have been waiting for the opening of a popular fast-food chain in Oklahoma City, your wait is almost over.

The first 100 guests in line on April 28th will receive a $100 gift card and exclusive, Oklahoma City -themed merchandise.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of their opening-round series. The OKC Thunder are hoping that they can repeat their Sunday afternoon performance in this contest. Game 2 will be an interesting test with the Suns having more time to prepare.
Phoenix was up against a rock and a hard place in the series opener. The Oklahoma City Thunder not only have the talent advantage but the rest advantage as well. Phoenix punched their ticket to the NBA Playoffs on Friday night by staving off the Golden State Warriors on Friday night before landing in Oklahoma City on Saturday and playing on Saturday afternoon to the tune of a 119-84 blowout Thunder victory.
The NBA has seen plenty of upsets already. The Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trail Blazers have all stolen games from the higher seed. The Thunder know they have to keep the foot on the gas in this contest.
“These series are unpredictable. No 2 games are the same. The minute you make an assumption, you are overconfident, or the minute you go down and you’re overly urgent, that can impact your ability to be present in the next game,” Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said pregame on Wednesday night.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are seeing the Suns make an adjustment with their starting lineup by inserting Collin Gillespie to give Phoenix a trio of ball handling scoring options alongside Devin Booker and Jalen Green. This gives the Suns hope to be able to find better shot quality against this stifling Thunder defensive unit.
Oklahoma City is healthier now than they have been all season. The Thunder only are missing rookie Thomas Sorber (ACL) who is out for the year. This allows the Bricktown Ballers to roll out their traditional first five in this contest.
