Sophomore Eric Lee emerged as the hero of the day, sealing the championship point with a 2-up win against Josh Duangmanee. Lee`s pivotal performance was highlighted by a stunning 25-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th hole, which shifted the momentum firmly in Oklahoma State`s favor. He capped off the victory with a conceded birdie on the par-5 18th after Duangmanee faltered with a missed 15-foot attempt.
The Cowboys showcased their dominance throughout the tournament, defeating Bedlam rival Oklahoma in the quarterfinals and overcoming Mississippi in the semifinals, where Lee`s clutch 6-foot par putt on the 19th hole was instrumental. Other key contributors included freshman Filip Fahlberg-Johnsson, Gaven Lane, and Ethan Fang, all of whom secured wins in their respective matches.
The atmosphere was electric on that cloudy afternoon, with temperatures hovering in the mid-60s, as the team celebrated a significant achievement after an eight-year title drought.
