West Texas A&M vs. Midwestern State (Championship Medal Match)
The LSC Championship is a "Medal Match" event. Each match is scored by the cumulative number of strokes won by rather than the number of holes won. For example, up 3 means that the player is up by 3 strokes, not 3 holes. The player up by the most strokes after 18 holes wins the match.
 
- Daniel Unger started things off for the Buffs with a one-stroke lead following the fourth hole. MSU's Garrett Leek turned the table with a two-stroke swing on the fifth on his way to a 66 (-6) in the round for the six stroke victory.
- Erik Strömfeltt came out firing as the junior from Stockholm registered a seven-under (29) on the front nine to lead by three shots headed to the back nine. Jake Leatherwood would battle back to cut the lead to one shot on the 16^th hole before a bogey by Leatherwood on the 18^th to give Strömfelt a three-shot win.
- Kolton Baber and Ethen Wolf traded strokes on the front nine before WT's senior from Devol, Oklahoma took a two shot lead to the turn. Baber turned it on during the final nine holes as the former Mustang shot an even-par 36 on the back nine to come away with a five stroke win.
- Pablo Rebolleda jumped out to an early lead with a birdie on the first hold before MSU's Mason Mikeska responded to take a two-shot lead to the back nine. Rebolleda used a three-shot swing on the 10^th hole to propel him to a one shot lead headed to the 18^th green before a birdie by the Mustang junior tied the match.
- Eemeli Jarvinen battled MSU's Jake Doggett in the final pairing of the tournament as Doggett took a two-shot lead to the turn. Jarvinen would tie it up on the 11^th and take a one-stroke lead to the 15^th before Doggett responded with pars on the final four holes to claim a three-stroke victory.
- The two teams tied 2-2-1 to force a playoff to claim the LSC Champion. All five golfers from each team played the 17^th hole with the lowest four scores being counted. The Mustangs would claim the title by a single stroke with a score of 15 compared to a 16 by the Buffs.
