quite a few birdies in a row across the board for the horns just now...up to an 11 stroke lead.

there are four teams under par in the austin regional (which is prettty stacked).  there are 2 in athens, 3 in louisville, 3 in stanford, and 6 in myrtle beach.  meanwhile, there are 11 teams in the pullman under par.

  Yeah We will have a 16 stroke lead heading into the final day. A 26 stroke lead over the final qualifying position

16 stroke lead

#7 USC is 5 strokes below the cut line going into the final day

5 players are tied for the individual lead, including 3 from Texas  -- Chervony moved from T-22nd to T-1st and Hammer moved from T-9th to T-1st today.

horns are on the last few holes and have officially blown this one out.  they are 21 strokes clear of second place tcu at -25.  tcu and clemson comfortably in 2nd and 3rd.  the only intrigue left is the fight between arkansas, usc, and pepperdine in their fight for 4th and 5th to qualify.

Austin - #6, #30, #19, #7, #18 look like the top 5 teams moving on
Louisville - #1, #11, #25, #21, #13 moving on
Myrtle Beach - #23, #46, #3, #10, #34 moving on.  #15 Tech missed the cut by 9 strokes.
Athens - #16, #9, #4, NR SMU, #22 moving on
Stanford - at the moment, #12, #26, #2 and NR Georgia Southern look to be in the best position - #24, #14 and NR Ole Miss are all fighting for the final spot.
Pullman: #20, #32, #5, #41, #8 are all in the best position - only other contenders are #29 but they're 4 strokes back of the cut line

Holy shit those Pullman scores for the top 7

i checked out the pullman course on google maps.  that place is as wide open as a driving range.  holy shit.  shouldn't qualify for a high school tournament, much less an ncaa regional.  however, the hilarity there is wright state and iona are in the last two spots with the only scores above par of the whole regional.  they are +42 and +44.  how they fuck did they qualify for regionals?

If it was at Palouse Ridge. That is the type of course we need more of, very fun to play. Who cares about par? At the end of the tournament, only the sum of scores matter.

If you're not on a golf course that requires shotmaking, then it just becomes a long driving contest.  Just have the tournament at a driving range.

The tee ball is and has been a key part of golf. Point is that the scores show the course to be fair, regardless of final as relates to par. And it remains a fine college golf course, one of my favorites as it’s on campus & fun.

no more drama in austin, arkie melted down on 17 and 18 and usc finished strong.  texas, tcu, clemson, pepperdine, and usc out of our regional.

What a shame.  They choke away a chance to play in the national championship rounds at home.      

So is this the thread where the championship round will be discussed?

Texas holds the current longest streak of advancing from regional play to the national championship  - 13

Illinois has 12, no one else in double digits.

The Big 12 alone: Texas - 13; OU - 9; OSU - 7; Baylor - 4

Horns done with two rounds and currently sitting in 6th with a chance to move up a little as the rest of the teams are still out there hitting + scores. Just need to make top 8. 

Okie state asserted itself as lion today...went -12 under. Aggies has a good day as well. Both appear safely into match play. Horns still need to TCB tomorrow.

Any more updates?   

Last I saw earlier today was Horns in 5th spot, but only a 4-5 stroke lead over the the 8th spot?

 

Found this link on Golf Channel website....

Looks like Horns are in a good spot to qualify, currently tied for 2nd.  🤘

Oklahoma State is dominating.... has 25 stroke lead over 2nd place..... WOW

Horns are gonna finish second in stroke play but a very distant second behind okstate who destroyed the field in stroke. Good news is we won’t have to face pokes until the finals. Currently looks like we will match up in the first round of match play with the agros who had a pretty poor day today and dropped from 3rd to 7th. 

Still some teams out there but looking like:

1-okiestate

2-horns

3-stanford

4-blow u

5-wake forest

6-vandy 

7-aggies

8-smu or Clemson

There’s another round of stroke play for the top 15 before the 8 team match play seeds are set.

Thx TonyTexas.....

"The field will be cut to the low 15 teams and top nine individuals not on those teams after Sunday’s third round. The individual champion is crowned Monday after 72 holes as are the top eight teams, who qualify for the match play bracket that determines the team national champion.  "

So still another day of stroke play (Monday) to qualify the Teams for Top 8  match play.

the up and down from the bunker by Cole Hammer was ridiculous (not sure what hole; between 10-12).  should be an ESPN Top 10 play of the day.

he basically played it backwards to take advantage of a huge slope behind the green.  put it to within 3 feet.  if he had gone straight at the bunker, best he could have done was 8-10 feet.

Playoff about to start on Golf Channel in 5 minutes.  One Hole Playoff.  Shotgun start on 5 different holes.  All 5 player's scores from each team will count.  (Still stroke play)

Gonna be fun ..... Anybody else watching?? 😀

SMU vs Clemson. (5 players stroke play -- tally all 5 scores)

This shotgun sudden death playoff is fun to watch.... One player can really screw it up for their team if they have a Sergio-like blow-up on their hole... 😡
