SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - The Stanford men's golf team wrapped up the 69th annual Western Intercollegiate with a third-place finish among the 14-team field at Pasatiempo Golf Club.

Stanford (354-353-360) was 10-over on the day and 17-over for the event, which was won by Texas (+2) after the Longhorns went 10-under Sunday.

It was the sixth straight top-10 finish for the Cardinal and fourth consecutive showing in the top-10.

Oregon took second after bettering the Cardinal by one stroke. Texas' Scottie Scheffler took medalist honors at 9-under.

"The story of the week was the great test that Pasatiempo provided," Knowles Family Director of Men's Golf Conrad Ray said. "It's as close of a feel in terms of green speeds, firmness and setup that will compare to NCAA Championships. We didn't have our best stuff today. We played a little cautious and tried to protect the lead early. Texas came out playing well and made some birdies. There are lessons to be learned for us in terms of being aggressive, controlling our shots and worrying less about the results.

"In this field, to finish third is an accomplishment, and gives us some good momentum going into the Pac-12 Conference Championships."

The league tournament will take place April 27-29 in Pullman, Washington.

Maverick McNealy birdied three holes on the front and started the back nine with bogeys on three of the first four holes. He finished 1-under par and tied for fourth after nailing a birdie putt on the par-3 18th.

McNealy (68-70-69) was 3-under overall and joined in the top-10 by playing partner Viraat Badhwar. Badhwar's 2-under was good for sixth after rounds of 69-69-70.

Patrick Grimes (73-71-72) tied for 20th at 6-over. David Boote (71-71-76) was 10 spots back at 8-over for the 54-hole event.

Jeffrey Swegle (73-72-75) was 10-over and Franklin Huang (76-76-74) checked in at 16-over.

Dominick Francks (77-74-74) ended the event at 15-over with Bradley Knox (77-77-74) adding an 18-over.
