DUNCAN, Okla. — Powered by an individual season-best and career-low 68 from Worathan Thammachokecharoen, the Oklahoma Panhandle State men's golf team wrapped up the SAC Championship Tuesday at The Territory Golf Club by firing a score of 312 to secure sixth place.
 
No. 2 Oklahoma City University captured the championship at 19-under par, 845 in the three-round tournament, beating out a conference field loaded with three other NAIA Top-25 teams.
 
OPSU's final score came in at 950 (327-311-312), six strokes ahead of Central Christian.
 
Thammachokecharoen was blistering hot from the jump Tuesday, making a par on No. 1 before birdieing four of the next seven holes. He opened his round at four-under through eight, carding a three-under 33 on the front nine. The Bangkok, Thailand, native got back to four in the red with a birdie at the par-5 11th, but his score ticked back up to three-under as he teed off on No. 18, a par-4, 434-yard hole that played as the single toughest hole for competitors in the tournament. Thammachokecharoen, however, made birdie for a back-nine 35 to complete his career-best 68.
 
On the tournament, Thammachokecharoen shot three-over, 219 (76-75-68) to place tied-12th individually out of 39 finishers. The junior climbed nine spots up the leaderboard from his starting position Tuesday.
