LA QUINTA, Calif. — Oklahoma State's men's golf team posted a closing 282 at The Prestige presented by Charles Schwab on Wednesday to finish in second place at PGA West's Greg Norman Course.

The top-ranked Cowboys finished at 8-under 844 and six strokes off the pace set by tournament champion LSU. Pepperdine was third at the par-71, 7,100-yard layout, finishing at 857.

Viktor Hovland kept OSU's string of tournament medalists going, firing a closing 66 to move from a tie for fourth into first place. The junior finished at 8-under 205 and one shot clear of Stanford's Brandon Wu.
