The Arnold Palmer Cup was co-founded by Arnold Palmer and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) and began at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge, Orlando, Fla., in 1997. The event is a Ryder Cup-style tournament featuring the top men’s and women’s university/college golfers matching the United States against a team of International players.
In his first season in Stillwater, Fang started his Cowboy career with seven consecutive top-10 finishes, including a pair of top-five showings to wrap up the fall. He tied for third place at the Amer Ari Intercollegiate during his string of top 10s. The Plano, Texas native has earned top fives in his last two starts as well, tying for third at the Mountaineer Invitational and sharing fifth place at the Big 12 Championship.
Stout is coming off his second win of the spring in OSU’s most recent outing as he repeated as medalist at the Big 12 Championship at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa. The Richardson, Texas native has reeled off four consecutive top 10s and has been inside the top 10 in six of his last seven starts. In addition to his conference victory, Stout finished first at the Cabo Collegiate and has finished in third on three other occasions.
Fang is currently ranked ninth in the country, while Stout is No. 12.
This year marks the seventh time the Cowboys have had multiple representatives in the same year. Overall, the Cowboys have now had 25 selections for the event to go along with two U.S. Team Captains.

Summy is enjoying one of the best seasons in Oklahoma history, boasting the fourth-lowest scoring average against par (-0.92) in program history. The Keller, Texas, native has climbed as high as No. 5 in the national individual rankings and has recorded seven top-20 finishes, six top-10s, four top-five placements and one win this season.
Over his collegiate career, Summy has earned two tournament victories and finished inside the top 10 at 11 events. He was a preseason All-American for 2024-25 and earned All-Region and All-Big 12 honors as a freshman in 2023.
