HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Baylor junior Davis Ovard had a bogey-free round of 3-under-par 67 on Tuesday and moved into a tie for 15th with teammate Alex Heard in the Big 12 Championship at Prairie Dunes Country Club.



Starting the day in seventh place, Baylor was 7-under through the first 11 holes in Tuesday’s third round and moved up to fourth. But the Bears had nine bogeys in the closing seven holes to shoot 1-under 279 and are tied for sixth with BYU at 8-over 848.



Fifth-ranked Oklahoma State continued its torrid pace in shooting 5-under 275 and is at 19-under 821 through the first 54 holes, nine shots ahead of Arizona State. TCU is third at 1-under 839, followed by sixth-ranked Texas Tech (1-over, 841) and Kansas (3-over, 843).



Starting the day in the top 10 after back-to-back 1-under 69s, Heard birdied three of the first seven holes to move up to third in the individual standings. But he bogeyed five of the last 10 holes to shoot 2-over 72 and tie Ovard for 14th at even-par 210.



Auburn transfer Evan Vo had the Bears second-best score of the day with a 1-under 69 and is tied for 31st at 4-over 214 with senior Jonas Appel. Shooting a quiet 1-over 71, Appel had two birdies and three bogeys mixed with 13 pars on the difficult par-72 course.



The average score in the third round was 71.39, with the Bears averaging 69.75 in their four counting scores. Sophomore Vincent Stjernfeldt, who subbed in for Sam Dossey in Monday’s second round, shot 8-over 78 after opening with a 76.
