STANFORD, Calif. - Five teams finished Saturday's third round within five shots of the lead to set up an exciting conclusion to the 2023 Pac-12 Men's Golf Championships at par-70, 6,727-yard Stanford Golf Course on Sunday.

COLORADO, No. 38 WASHINGTON and host No. 12 STANFORD all made up ground on moving day, with the Buffaloes and Huskies climbing into a share atop the leaderboard at 17-under 1033 and the Cardinal tied for third with 36-hole leader No. 2 ARIZONA STATE two shots back (15-under 1035).

No. 21 OREGON is fifth at 12-under 1038, while WASHINGTON STATE is sixth at 8-under 1042 and eying its first-ever finish in the top half of a Pac-12 Championship field.

Stanford junior Michael Thorbjornsen eagled the par-5 16th en route to a 2-under 68 to take the solo individual lead at 13-under 197 headed to Sunday's finale. Colorado sophomore Dylan McDermott is two shots back at 11-under 199.
