BYU's Cole Ponich places second at 7-under (winner was at 10-under), while Peter Kim is fifth at 5-under and Zac Jones is 11th at 1-under.

Amazing run for the BYU men's golf team, which bounced back from a ninth-place finish in the Big 12 tournament and just won the NCAA's Reno Regional to punch its ticket to the NCAA Finals. https://t.co/cl4vKvDii1
