TUCSON, Ariz. – Wyoming men's golf concluded the 2017 Mountain West Championship on Sunday at the Omni Tucson National – Catalina Course with a third-round score of 296 (+8). The Cowboys ended the tournament with a team score of 872 (+8) to place eighth overall. Senior Ryan Wallen tied for third as an individual, finishing with a score of 209 (-7)

Wyoming struggled in the final round of the conference championship, but Wallen still managed to log a performance for the record book. After an even-par round of 72 on Sunday he ended the weekend tied for third, the lowest finish ever by a Cowboy in the MW Championships. He also matched Don Abbott's third-place finish in the 1992 WAC Championships for the best conference finish by a Cowboy in school history.  

"First of all, I'm happy for Ryan (Wallen). He played a great tournament," UW head coach Joe Jensen said. "We tried hard today, but we struggled in the last few holes. There's no doubt we would have liked to finish better, but it just wasn't our day. It's tough, but we've had a nice year and there are a lot of young guys on our team. I'm confident in where this program is headed."

Junior Arron Lickteig matched Wallen's mark for the low round of the day for UW at 72 (E). Sophomore John Murdock scored a 76 (+4) to finish tied with Lickteig in 42nd place with a score of 224 (+8).

Junior Glenn Workman also carded a 76 (+4) on Sunday, bringing his total to 222 (+6). He was Wyoming's second-lowest finisher, tying for 38th. Junior Drew McCullough tallied an 83 (+11), tying for 49th with a score of 229 (+12).

UNLV edged out Colorado State to earn the team conference title with a score of 846 (-18). Brian Humphreys of Boise State claimed the individual title with a mark of 204 (-12).
