Rogers struggled through the first two rounds at the Big 12 Championships (85, 83), but came back strong with a 72 in the final round to finish 41st. As Nebraska's top finisher and one of the premier performers in the nation, Rogers was ranked as high as sixth in the country during the season in scoring average, and consistently ranked among the Top 40 in the MasterCard Individual Rankings.
