    I could be wrong but I believe the seeding for the match play is based on the results of the 72 holes of stroke. I don't think rankings come into play in the Championship portion.

    Outstanding form heading into the Championship! great to see and confidence has to be soaring Next step get through the grueling stroke play portion 54 holes to start with a cut down to 15 then the 4th day cuts to 8. If you get through that you have had an outstanding run.

    Also that scorecard that somebody mentioned earlier for Maichon, straight golf porn. no bogeys! two eagles, come on, that is a sweet card. He is only made one 5 all tourney. thats incredible, if he would have birdied the first yesterday, that might be the best two rounds of golf on a scorecard...

    great shape for sure after day 2, team looks poised to make a run. Great contributions so far from everybody. Just stay the course and get ready for the Championship. This is program is simply a national power, It is amazing at how consistently they make the finals. Small has to be on level...

    alright, showtime. I've got no issues with that lineup, and at the start of the year that would've been close to the pick. In my mind Vois and Goeke and your floor raisers and Hunt is the ceiling guy. He has shown he can go low and he can go high. Hopefully if he goes high one round those...

    Chicago Cubs 2024

    Today yes, but he has been improving this season. Has a cannon arm and has made significant improvement on the routine plays. yesterday was bad he deserves credit for being better this season, whether he a long term answer this, I doubt it, but I think he is getting close to serviceable. I...

    In complete transparency, I am a high school golf coach and my program is lucky enough have currently 3 college golfers playing and 2 going D1 next year including one in the Big 10. I know for a fact, like players losing 36 hole qualifiers for conferences this year, that teams in college golf...

    Had to happen sooner or later, that was an amazing run of championships. 2nd is nothing to freak out about and they wont. Hunt, vois and wilson couldn't really get it done but honestly, Max needed to be Robin to Jackson batman to take this. They will be fine. Sure when can question not...

    They have a chance that is for sure. I think if they want to control their destiny even par today does it. I'd be surprised if Northwestern and Michigan st keep it in single digits. If either does I think that may rule us out. Interestingly Small went with a non-senior lineup for the league...

    very kinda, 3 wins, a second, other top 5s. Firmly ranked in the top 25. Maybe we are spoiled by peak years but this is year has exceeded expectations if you ask me. There is quite often a dominant team in college golf but even they have had bad tourneys, North Carolina has 4 wins if you...

    I'm not saying Piercen couldn't prossibly take a spot. He has shown the ability, at least twice I can think of, to go very low. I think the issue for Small is you want to get the mix right of high ceiling/low floor guys and high floor guys. I kinda thought Timmy and Tyler would be high floor...

    Piercen is really struggling this year. His average is a almost a full stroke behind the next highest on the team. He would have to really show in qualifying to get that spot because his game certainly hasn't been there at least in matches this year.

    I'm sure that 5th spot is up for grabs, Ethan took some solid steps but certainly it will be a battle down the stretch here.
