Hutchinson, Kan. - Oklahoma State's men's golf team posted a two-round total of 577 on Monday at Prairie Dunes Country Club to stand in second place at the Big 12 Championship.
OSU was one of just three teams to finish all 36 holes due to darkness. The remainder of the field will resume the second round at 11 a.m. (CST) tomorrow and the third round is set to begin at 1 p.m.
The Cowboys opened with a 285 during their morning round at the par-70, 6,759-yard layout, putting them two shots clear of TCU for the top spot on the leaderboard. OSU followed with a 12-over 292 to stand at 17-over par for the day. Texas surged to the top spot after using a 1-over 281 to go with its 290 during the first round for a 571 total.

The Longhorns also produced the tournament's leader after the first day of action in Brandon Stone, who posted rounds of 70 and 67 for a 3-under 137 total.
OSU's Talor Gooch grabbed the No. 2 spot in the individual standings. The junior carded an opening 70 and followed with a 69 to finish as the only other player under par at 1-under 139.
