After briefly leading a major golf tournament early in the week, an OU golfer is returning to Norman with a gold medal and a big finish.
Oklahoma men’s golfer Ryder Cowan earned co-Low Amateur at the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York. He finished Sunday’s final round with a three-over 73, which put him five-over for the entire tournament, tying Auburn’s Jackson Koivun for the lowest amateur score of the tournament.
