The redshirt senior shot an even-par 72 in Monday’s final round of the NCAA Championships, tying for 11th in a field that originally featured 156 players.
That freedom translated into Sargent’s third round of par or better in the 72-hole event at the par-72, 7,550-yard Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Ark.
Sargent finished with a four-round, 3-over-par total of 291 – two shots away from a top-eight result. Oklahoma State’s Matthew Wolff won the individual title at 10 under.
Sargent got off to a hot start Monday with a birdie on the par-5 2nd hole, but then scrambled for back-to-back bogeys on the next two holes.
