Mustangs, Oland Take Second at Litz Memorial

Midwestern State sophomore Derek Oland's second place finish helped lead the Mustangs up to finish second as a team in the James S. Litz Memorial on Tuesday at the Dominion Country Club in San Antonio.
 
The Mustangs tallied a 314 in the final round to finish at 919, two strokes ahead of host Incarnate Word in third place at 921 and behind the 903 of tournament winner Abilene Christian.
 
Oland finished the 54-holes at 5-over-par 221 after carding a 3-over 75 on Tuesday.  After suffering a 3-putt on the 17th hole, Oland holed out an eight-footer for par on the 18th to force a tie with Incarnate Word's Austin Jordan who tallied a 1-over 73. 
 
In the playoff, a repeat of the 18th hole, Oland pulled his drive left behind a rock, then punched out and ended up with a double bogey.  Jordan's drive in the fairway led to a par and the tournament win.
 
"Derek played strong today," said MSU Coach Jeff Ray.  "He made some great shots in a strong wind."
 
The round of the day was from MSU freshman Santiago Gomez who posted the only sub-par score in the third round.  Gomez fired a 1-under 71 on the par 72, 7070 yard North Course to finish in a fourth place tie at 7-over 223, two strokes back.
 
"Santiago was 4-under through 14, but the wind got him coming home," said Ray.  "He had a great round and close to a really great round."
 
"The strong north-northeasterly wind made this a totally different course today," Ray added.
 
Antonio Herran and Ian Gallagher both shot 84 on Tuesday.  Herran finished tied for 16th at 236, while Gallagher was tied for 20th at 239.
 
Freshman Colton Kowalick suffered a 97 in the final round to finish at 268.
 
The Mustangs will be in action again on March 3-4 in Henderson, Nev., at the Las Vegas Desert Classic hosted by Missouri-St. Louis.
