Oklahoma had the top spot in hand, but a three-putt bogey at the last by redshirt senior Chris Gotterup dropped the Sooners into a three-way tie. It also kept Gotterup out of a playoff for the individual title, which was won by Vanderbilt freshman Gordon Sargent.
Pepperdine is the defending national champion, while Arizona State is the host school. Here’s a look at the quarterfinal matches. Golf Channel will showcase live coverage, beginning at noon ET on Tuesday.
