Three of the nation’s Top 5 teams are playing in the Big 12 Golf Championship this weekend, and it hasn’t disappointed.

No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 3 Oklahoma State and No. 5 Texas enter Wednesday’s final round tied atop the team standings at 16-over 856. There is also a tight race atop the individual leaderboard with OSU’s Bo Jin, UT’s Cole Hammer and Texas Tech’s Ludvig Aberg tied with 1-under 209s.

It’s a true three-horse team race at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansas. Texas Tech and TCU are tied for fourth, 14 shots off the leaders.

Pos. School To Par R1 R2 R3 Total
T1 Oklahoma State +16 296 282 278 856
T1 Texas +16 290 294 272 856
T1 Oklahoma +16 291 286 279 856
T4 Texas Tech +30 301 289 280 870
T4 TCU +30 290 299 281 870
6 Baylor +34 297 296 281 874
7 Kansas +43 303 301 279 883
8 Kansas State +48 309 301 278 888
9 West Virginia +57 311 303 283 897
10 Iowa State +62 304 312 286 902

Jin is a 6-foot-4 freshman from Bejing, China. His best finish of the year (and his collegiate career) to this point came in October at the Maridoe Invitational, an event OSU won.

He carded a 3-under 67 during Monday’s round at the Big 12 Championship before hitting an even-par 70 on Tuesday.

German freshman Jonas Bumgartner had the best third round among Cowboys, finishing the round with a 2-under 68. He is tied for eighth on the individual leaderboard with Austin Eckroat at 7-over 217.

An impressive part about this OSU team is that Eckroat is the only upperclassmen golfing for the Cowboys this week, and he is a junior. The rest are freshmen and sophomores.

Here is a look at how all of the Cowboys have performed:

Pos. Name To Par R1 R2 R3 Total
T1 Bo Jin -1 72 67 70 209
T8 Jonas Bumgartner +7 73 76 68 217
T8 Austin Eckroat +7 76 71 70 217
T10 Aman Gupta +8 78 70 70 218
T18 Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra +10 75 74 71 220

Weather permitting, the final round is set to happen Wednesday. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to watch the action, but it can be followed on golfstat.
