April 28, 2021 | Men's Golf
Aberg shot 1-under (71-72-66-70 – 279) at the 72-hole championship, making eagle on No. 17 to put pressure on the tournament leaders but ultimately finishing three behind Cole Hammer (Texas) who won the championship at 4-under with a final-round 67 on his card. Oklahoma State won the team title at 9-over, winning by one stroke over No. 1-ranked Oklahoma which finished at 10-over. The Red Raiders finished the championship at 29-over by posting 301-289-280-279 – 1149.
Texas Tech senior Kyle Hogan finished 19th individually at 11-over after shooting 2-over on Wednesday, while freshman Baard Skogen shot 12-over in his first conference tournament to finish 22nd overall. Sophomore Garrett Martin shot 1-over on Wednesday, finishing at 16-over for 35th on the leaderboard and senior Andy Lopez completed the four-round championship at 17-over which put him in 39th overall.
A sophomore from Sweden, Aberg earned All-Tournament honors for finishing in the top-10. He was in contention for the individual championship throughout the week and held the lead going into the final round. He would shoot even-par on Wednesday to finish at 1-under for the week. Aberg's final round included four birdies and the eagle on No. 17 to get to 2-under for the championship before a final-hole bogey bumped him back to 1-under. Hammer came into the final round tied with Aberg at 1-under but would shoot 3-under in the final round to claim the tile. Quade Cummins (Oklahoma) and Bo Jin (Oklahoma State) tied for second at 3-under with Cummins posting the low-round on Wednesday at 4-under, 66.
Aberg is No. 5 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and has now recorded seven top-10 and five top-5 finishes through nine stroke play events this season. He earned wins at The Prestige in February and also two weeks ago at the Thunderbird Collegiate in Phoenix.
