The Oklahoma Sooners completed their AM and PM rounds of Match Play in the Big 12 Match Play Championship in Scotsdale, AZ with good reuslts. The Sooners earned 10.5 points on the day and currently set in a tie for 3rd place. Here are the standings.

1st - Oklahoma State with 12.0 points
2nd - Baylor with 11.5 points
T3rd - Oklahoma with 10.5 points
T3rd - Texas with 10.5 points
5th - TCU with 10.0 points
T6th - Iowa State with 9.5 points
T6th - Texas Tech with 9.5 points

In the AM Match on Friday, the Sooners lost their match to Baylor 2-3. they tied with Texas Tech 2-2-1. In the Friday PM matches, OU won over Texas 3-2 and TCU 3-2.

It sounds like Hun, Fortuna, Barber and Cheney played well on Friday for the Sooners.

Today, I think that OU is paired with Kansas and Kansas State in their AM matches. That looks to be a bit of an advantage for them looking at the standings after Day 1.

The AM Saturday Matches are:

#1 UT vs #2 BU vs. #3 ISU
#4 OSU vs #5 TTU vs. #6 TCU
#7 KU vs. #8 OU vs. #9 K-State

The Top 4 teams advance to the Championship bracket in the PM matches on Saturday. The next 4 teams advance to the Consolation Bracket in the PM Matches.

Good luck to the Sooners Women today.

The Oklahoma Women's Golf Team continued their play in the Big 12 Match Play Tournament in Scottsdale, AZ on Saturday in their 3rd pool play session. They Sooners faced Kansas and Kansas State in dual matches. Kansas played will in their round and defeated OU 5-0 in their match. OU also lost to K-State 2-3 in the morning round with Hun and Barber picking up wins. After the morning round was complete the Sooners and Kansas State were tied with 12.5 points. Despite losing to K-State, OU won the tiebreaker over K-State by the margin of their wins in the 3 rounds of pool play (34 to 23).

Oklahoma faced Oklahoma State in the first round of the consolation bracket in head's-up match play in the Saturday afternoon round. Oklahoma State won the top two matches at #1 and #2, 5 & 3 and 3 & 2. But Oklahoma's comeback was impressive as they won the #3, #4, #5 matches all 2-and-1 with Fortuna, Barber and Vessely winning their matches for the 3 - 2 victory over Oklahoma State in a Bedlam Match Play win. (Oklahoma also defeated their other big rivalry on Friday as they defeated Texas 3-2.)

Today, the Sooners will face Iowa State for the 5th place finish. Oklahoma and the Cyclones did not played this weekend in the Pool Rounds. Iowa State won over Texas Tech 3-1-1.

Good luck to the Sooners today in the match for 5th place in the Big 12.

The Oklahoma Sooners Women's Golf Team played their way to a 5th place finish at the Big 12 Women's Match Play Tournament. On Sunday morning, Oklahoma won over Iowa State 3-2 for the 5th Place finish. I watched the scoring results as the final 9 holes were played. All three Sooner winners on the day, Hun, Barber and Vesely played well down the stretch. The Sooners rebounded from an 8th place finish in the Pool Play to defeat OSU and Iowa State to rise to the 5th Place finish.

Here is the staff wrtiers article about the strong finish for the Sooners.
