With 18 holes to go at the Big 12 Championship, the ISU men’s golf team will be resigned to fight for second place.

No. 2 Texas has jumped out to a commanding lead through 54 holes at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla. The Longhorns lead No. 9 Texas Tech by 20 strokes and are 31 clear of No. 42 Iowa State, which is in fourth place.

The Cyclones were in second place after two rounds, but a 17-over-par third round of 297 slid them into fourth, where they trail Texas Tech by 11 shots. On the tournament, Iowa State is 40-over-par with scores of 298, 285 and 297.

Iowa State has two golfers in the top 10, with Scott Fernandez and Nick Voke in a tie for ninth at seven-over-par. They trail leader Scottie Scheffler by 10 shots.

In round three, Fernandez posted a three-over-par 73, while Voke finished with a 74. One shot behind the ISU duo is Sam Daley, who is in a tie for 11th out of 45 golfers after a 73 in the third round.

Ruben Sondjaja slid down the leaderboard after a 77 and is tied for 32nd. In 45th is Collin Foster, who recorded a 79 in round three.

The fourth and final round will begin 8 a.m. April 29. Iowa State (+40) will begin play at 8:50 a.m. and will play alongside fifth-place Oklahoma (+43) and sixth-place Oklahoma State (+46).
