The Horned Frogs also claimed top team honors at the Sooner Invitational and the Prestige of the West, while making their 14th straight NCAA Regional appearance this year.

Rubinson notched the first medallist honor of his career with a victory at the Western Refining All-America Classic with a five-under 208 and added three second-places finishes this season.
