Oklahoma State went to Hawaii to start the spring season this week and will fly home to the Midwest with a trophy – the team’s second this season and a ninth piece of hardware for the Cowboys in the history of the Amer Ari Invitational.
Playing at Hapuna Golf Course in Kamuela, Hawaii, Oklahoma State went 50 under to edge Texas Tech by one shot. The Cowboys’ final-round 24-under 264 was at least eight shots better than any other team on the closing day and helped solidify the team victory. That round also matched the program 18-hole scoring record.
It effectively erased the 10-shot deficit with which Oklahoma had started the day and lengthened a long history of success in Hawaii.
The Cowboys have won the Amer Ari three of the past four times they have been in the field. The combined total for the Pokes? -144.#okstate | #golfschool pic.twitter.com/slMCCnybzO

Oklahoma State also won the fall-opening Carmel Cup at Pebble Beach in September and is ranked fifth in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings.
Individually, Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra went 19 under – which included a 10-under closing round of 62 – to win the individual title by two shots over Texas Tech’s Baard Skogen.
