Oklahoma State Falls to Oregon at NCAAs
Oklahoma State made it to the match play portion of the NCAA Championship for the first time since 2014, and just like every year they’ve advanced since 2009 when the tournament implemented an eight-team match play portion, they fell short.
Defending national champion Oregon clipped the Cowboys 3-2 on Tuesday even though No. 1-ranked Wyndham Clark was defeated by Viktor Hovland 2 and 1 to get the first point of the match for the Pokes.
OSU actually got the first two points as Zach Olsen won his match 3 and 1 over No. 14-ranked Norman Xiong. These were Oregon’s only two players ranked in the top 100 of the Sagarin individual rankings (all of OSU’s players are in the top 65).
