The redshirt sophomore Sargent fired a three-round total of 221 (73-73-75) at the par-72, 6,969-yard Texarkana Country Club. Teams completed the final two rounds Monday.
Sargent is WKU’s highest finisher since Alex Yost tied for sixth in the 2010 Sun Belt Conference Championship, and his 221 is the best by a Hilltopper since 2014.
Sargent led the entire tournament with 40 pars and was just five strokes out of second place.
