The Tigers, ranked 42nd by Golfweek/Sagarin, took a five-stroke lead into Sunday's final round and after closing with an even-par 288, finished the 54-hole event at 17-under 847, good for a two-stroke victory over Kentucky.
Lundin and Crockett were part of an eight-way tie for eighth place. Lundin put together rounds of 72-69-71 for a 4-under score of 212 while Crockett carded rounds of 67-72-71. With his performance at Steelwood, Lundin, a junior from Sioux Falls, S.D. has finished in the top-20 in four of Mizzou's five events this fall. Ta Tsai finished in a five-way tie for 16th place at 3-under 213 after rounds of 69-72-72.
The Steelwood title bookends a successful fall season for Missouri, which opened the season with a win at the Turning Stone Intercollegiate at Kaluhyat Golf Club in Verona, N.Y.
