URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) – Illinois men’s golf couldn’t maintain a three-stroke lead it held entering the final day of play at Atkins Golf Club.

However, the Illini didn’t fully give up the lead either. Instead, Oklahoma State and Illinois wound up tied for the top spot at the conclusion of the three-day tournament in Urbana.

Both teams finish 15 under par on the week and will share the regional crown. Since the top five teams all advance to NCAA Nationals, a playoff to determine the winner was not played.

Oklahoma State shot -8 in round three to close the gap, while Illinois shot -5 on Wednesday.

UNLV was third after shooting +1 on the final round.

Illinois shot +5 on the final three holes of the day, while the Cowboys closed at +2 to secure a tie for the top spot.
