The Red Raiders were led by sophomore Clement Sordet's tie for 17th place overall with TCU's Julien Brun. Sordet entered the final round on Friday in a tie for 23rd in the individual standings but was able to climb six spots thanks to a 1-under, 71 outing. Sordet finished the tournament at 3-under, 213 after logging rounds of 68, 74, and 71 on the par-72 Kings Course.
Senior Finley Ewing IV, who got off to a slow start in round one, rebounded nicely in the final round with a 4-under, 68 and finished tied for 49th overall.
No. 7 UCLA and No. 6 Washington shared the team title as the Bruins and Huskies fired scores of 22-under, 842. The Bruins and Huskies finished seven strokes ahead of third place finisher TCU and eight strokes ahead of No. 10 Georgia Tech and No. 8 USC, who tied for fourth.
