Lindell finished up with a score of 232 (+22), while Thomas closed right behind him with a 233 (+23).
Oklahoma had the overall winner and as a team brought home the crown.

Oklahoma as a team comfortably won the title with a team score of 831 (-9). BYU and Colorado tied for second with a score of 838 (-2).
