STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State's men's golf team will look to capture its 10th Big 12 title next week when it begins play at the Big 12 Championship at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansas.
The fifth-ranked Cowboys will be the tournament's No. 2 seed and will be grouped with top-seeded Baylor at the prestigious venue for Monday's opening round. The tournament will consist of 72 holes with 36 being played on Monday followed by 18-hole days on Tuesday and Wednesday.
OSU's lineup will be comprised of senior Zachary Olsen, junior Kristoffer Ventura, sophomores Zach Bauchou and Hayden Wood and freshman Viktor Hovland. All five Cowboy starters are ranked in the top 55 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings with Olsen (No. 23) leading the way. Ventura (No. 35), Hovland (No. 46) and Wood (No. 48) all appear inside the top 50 and are joined by Bauchou at No. 55.
Coming off its fourth win of the season at The Maxwell, OSU will be looking for its first league title since 2011.
The Cowboys have won nine Big 12 crowns in the 20-year history of the event. OSU won three of the first four tournaments, finishing atop the leaderboard in 1997, 1998 and 2000. The Cowboys' next league title came in 2005 before reeling off five-straight victories from 2007-2011.
OSU has produced the event's individual medalist on nine occasions with Leif Westerberg (1997), Charles Howell (2000), Anders Hultman (2002), Hunter Mahan (2003), Pablo Martin (2007), Rickie Fowler (2008), Morgan Hoffmann (2009, 2011) and Stratton Nolen (2016) all taking top honors.
Overall, the Cowboys have won 54 league titles and have produced 47 individual champions in the 70-year history of the program.
