Wolfgang Glawe, Big 12 Championships All-Tournament Team

TULSA, Okla. – University of Houston Men's Golf senior Wolfgang Glawe capped his Big 12 Conference Championships with a third-place finish at Southern Hills Country Club on Thursday afternoon.

Glawe drained four birdies in Thursday's Final Round on the 7,556-yard, par-70 course and finished the 54-hole tournament with a total of even-par 280.

With his Top-10 finish, Glawe earned a place on the Championships' All-Tournament Team, the first of his career.

As a team, the Cougars – who were seeded No. 8 entering the event – lowered their score for the third straight round with a Final-Round 283 for a total of 1,149 and finished fourth.
