OSU Bullets

•  Big win for the new Cowboy wrestling crew – a two-time All-American announced he’s transferring to OSU (PFB) • The Cowgirls finished off the Regional by beating Michigan and securing their spot in a Super Regional (PFB) • Fun to think about the Cowboy offensive line getting a fast start this fall: 

“It should give us an edge to start faster than everybody else,” (Joe) Michalski said. “Since we are not cycling in a bunch of new guys and trying to teach them the plays. … Doesn’t matter unless we do it. So, we got to know what we have and the opportunity we have, but we still got to seize it.” [TulsaWorld]

• Golf Updates – Viktor Hovland finished just a few strokes back at the PGA Championship (landing in third) and the Cowgirls missed the cut at the NCAA Championships (PGA Championship.com + GolfStat) • ICYMI – the Pokes swept the Houston Cougars over the weekend and locked up the No. 2 seed in the Big 12 Tournament (PFB + PFB)

Inside the Ritz-Carlton, a beaming Phillips continues to exude hope. “You always stay optimistic,” he said. “You have to.”
