OSU's Patrick Winther tied for seventh in the regional's individual race at 5-under 208 after a final round 72.

OU earned its NCAA berth Saturday by beating Georgia Tech by 12 strokes, good enough for fifth place in a regional tournament at Norman. It's the second consecutive championship appearance for the Sooners and 33rd overall.

OU's Michael Gellerman shot a 1-under 71 to capture fifth place.

Washington took team honors at the regional with a three-round 860 and was followed by Texas. Florida State and Illinois shared third place.

In a regional at Greensboro, N.C., Tulsa also finished in fifth place on Saturday. Tulsa is making its 10th trip to the NCAA Championship and first since 2007. Tulsa shot a final round 288 to close out the 54-hole tournament with an 878 total.

Tulsa's John Young Kim finished the tournament in seventh place with a 54-hole total of one-over par 217.
