Kluver shot a final round 7-under 64 to shoot 18-under, the fifth lowest to par score in Sooner history.
This year's Ka'anapali Collegiate Classic had a bigger meaning than just the golf that was played.
While the golf was entertaining and captivating, the money raised for victims of the Maui Wildfires was more important.
