The West Virginia University golf team shot a team score of 280 (8 under par) in the third round, the lowest round score in its Big 12 Championship history, on Tuesday at Whispering Pines Golf Club in Trinity, Texas.
On moving day, the Mountaineers jumped three spots to fifth place (297-291-280) in the 14-team championship. The Mountaineers trail Houston by one shot for fourth place.

In round three, WVU tied for the second-best score in the round at -8.
In round three, Todd Duncan led the way for WVU, shooting a 4-under-par 68, recording four birdies and an eagle on the day. He is now tied for 25th place at +3.
Max Green continues to pace WVU, shooting even par on Tuesday. He is tied for 19th place at +2.
