OKLAHOMA CITY - The Sooner Athletic Conference contested its annual conference men's golf championship on Monday and Tuesday at Oklahoma City's Gallardia Country Club. The 36-hole event was used to determine the SAC's automatic qualifier to the NAIA National Championship. The field was very deep, and the Mid-America Christian University team battled hard and ended up finishing in the top five in the event.

MACU shot scored of 315, 318, and 321 for a team 54-hole total of 942 to finish in fifth place in the Championship. Oklahoma City University (851; 290-281-280) won the Championship for the fourth year in a row, followed by Wayland Baptist University (871; 287-292-292), Texas Wesleyan University (875; 299-283-293), and Southwestern Christian University (942; 320-310-312) ahead of MACU.

MACU played well in both rounds on Monday afternoon. Isaac Maston and Austin Davis shot 76 and 78, respectively, in the opening round of the event, Gage Gibson carded an 80, and Tyler Price and Wyatt Bonds each shot 81 as MACU fired their best round of the tournament at 315. Maston (77), Price (79), and Bonds (79) each broke 80 in the second round, while Davis (81) and Gipson (85) round out the scoring for the day and MACU shoots a second round 318. The Evangels were in fifth after day one of the event, one shot behind SCU after 36 holes.

On the tournament's final day, MACU struggled. Only Maston broke 80 in the final round, but he shot the best individual score of the tournament for MACU on day two, carding a 73 to finish at 226 in a tie for 13th place. Davis shot 82 to finish in 22nd at 241, and Price and Bonds each shot 83 to finish one spot behind Davis at 243. Gipson shot 84 in the final round, finishing 27th in the event.

The tournament brings to a close the 2017-18 MACU men's golf season, and with it, the career of MACU's lone senior, Tyler Price.
