Texas Golf: Championship Week

[Goodman 3273]

Should be interesting as teams are strong and lots of Big 12 teams look strong today.

 

Greta single handedly kept our Girls out of the top 8 last week, shitting the bed is an understatement.

Drew Jones is doing his best Greta imitation for the boys so far.

Day 1 scores: 

Scheffler 67

Ghim 71

Chervony 74

Soosman 76

Jones 81, 81 is pathetic golf at this level.

 

Scheffler started his day on 10 today with a triple bogey 7. Team is T20th right now, most of team is on inward 9 with only Ghim making the turn.

 

[TonyTexas 10517]

You know that Jones’ 81 isn’t included, right? It’s the best 4 scores that count.

[Goodman 3273]

Did not and glad to learn that only top 4. Team is T25th out of 30 with a few holes to go.

[Goodman 3273]

Ghim closed with a 30 on the back 9 to shoot a 69, T7th at the moment in the individual.

Scottie closed with 2 birds for a 74 after a tough start, T10th with the afternoon flight out on the course.

Team is currently T14th with half the field still on the course. Does not look good right now.

Looks like we’ll make the 15 team cut and play tomorrow. Currently tied for 10th. Top 15 move on.

[Firemans4Horn 18110]

Big 12 heavy leaderboard

[Goodman 3273]

Scottie and Ghim are in a good position for the individual title.

Edit. Everyone plays today. Top 15 advance to tomorrow.

We still don't have the top shelf depth to win this thing.

[TonyTexas 10517]

Yep. You have Scotty and Doug then 3 also rans. Even though Jones is the 5th chair, you’d hope he could contribute something. Worst round each day.

[Goodman 3273]

Ghim and Scottie are fighting really hard to remain in top 5 of individual.

Team is on cut line with half the field to go, lets hope all teams this afternoon go over par which is likely.

[TonyTexas 10517]

We’ll play tomorrow. Currently tied fo 11th. Only 3 shots out of 8th place needed to make it to match play.

 

[Goodman 3273]

We just need our 3,4 & 5 players to find jesus over the next few days. They are currently T111, T122 & T147 out of 156 players.

[Goodman 3273]

Tee times are in the afternoon, likely for TV as GC is broadcasting today. We have some work to do but it can be done.

We're 3 shots back in 10th place, top 8 move on after today.

[Jive Turkey 12617]

Big move today so far. Moved up 4 spots to a tie for 6th with Kent State and aggy. Gonna be tight. OU and Bama are 2 shots behind. 

[TonyTexas 10517]

Both aggy and OU shitting the bed today.

[Goodman 3273]

Our men are batling their asses off so far, pretty clean cards in what seems like the tougher 9.

[Jive Turkey 12617]

We’re  the only team under par today  

OU and Bama are back in the top 8. 

This is gonna be tight.

[TonyTexas 10517]

Jones was finally making a contribution, shooting even par on his 1st 9. Double, triple to start his back 9.

 

 

[Ghost of Stevie Ray 1584]

So much crap that Ghim and Sheffler are killing it and the others all can’t even put in semi decent rounds.

Yeah we may have 2 top 5 finishers and still fail to make the cut. Talk about a top heavy lineup.

[TonyTexas 10517]

A birdie by Doug or Scottie on 18 and I think we’ll make it. Don’t want to play OSU in 1st round of match play.

Edit. There it is!

[perfectchaos007 6675]

Sheffler! clutch birdie

[texasstrong12 4668]

Feels like if we advance we are much more dangerous in match play than stroke play. 

For starters, Ghim and Scheffler are capable of getting us 2 wins in every round of match play. Also, match play favors us in the sense we wouldn't have to rely on our other 3 golfers. We would just need one of those 3 to have a decent round. Under the assumption Ghim and Scheffler keep rolling. 

I think match play gives us a much better chance of winning than stroke play. Probably stating the obvious here.

Ghim!!!!

[TonyTexas 10517]

Good job boys. Best team score for the day. Need to slip into the 7th spot and play Duke instead of OSU.

[Yama Yak Yachtzi 48]

Both of those birdie putts were beautiful!

[Jive Turkey 12617]

 Clutch AF. 

[perfectchaos007 6675]

Doesn't look like Kent State is a threat. We're in to the knockouts boys

[texasstrong12 4668]

Looks like we might avoid OK State in round 1 of match play too. Need Alabama to stay below us. 

[Caddox 952]

Bama just dropped behind us. Aggy seems to be finishing weak. Huge finish by our two studs. This team has a high ceiling, I doubt other coaches want our matchup tomorrow.

Yep. And/or aggy to drop below us. They’re leaking oil.

Yeah, we're probably the weakest team remaining in terms of stroke play outside of Duke. With Scheffler and Ghim we're really dangerous in match play. 

I don't follow golf close enough but I think Soosman is pretty good for our 3rd golfer. 

Our biggest issue has been Jones. 

Edited May 28, 2018 by texasstrong12

[perfectchaos007 6675]

What a collapse it would be if aggy falls all the way out of the top 8

[texasstrong12 4668]

aggy is really trying to choke this away. Good god how do they always choke like this in every sport? 

[Jive Turkey 12617]

This is so awesome to watch knowing we’re safely in. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

aggy survives but will get Oklahoma State in round 1. We get a favorable draw with Duke.

Edited May 29, 2018 by texasstrong12

[Jive Turkey 12617]

I like it. Those birds by Doug and Scottie were so bad ass. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

I'm pretty sure we avoid OK State and Oklahoma until the final round of match play. We can't ask for a better draw. 

Texas vs Duke. Then winner of Tech and Alabama.

4 Big 12 teams

3 SEC teams 

1 ACC

[texasstrong12 4668]

 

[Goodman 3273]

Just back and pumped to see the results, great draw for us IMO.

[Jive Turkey 12617]

It's pretty crazy to think that in 2012, when Spieth and company beat Justin Thomas and company for the national title, the matches weren't televised on the Golf Channel.  We had to stream it from NCAA.com.

And oh yeah, Thomas Pieters from U of Illinois won the individual NCAA tourney that year.  Patrick Cantlay finished tied for fourth.

Thomas is world #1, Spieth is world #5 (former #1), Cantlay is world #36, Dylan Frittelli is world #58, and Pieters is world #67.  not too shabby.

[bamachine 1231]

Good luck tomorrow guys, hope to see y'all in the semis of match play.

[texasstrong12 4668]

Soosman up 1 through 1. Just getting started in the first round of match play against Duke. 

[sidis 9832]

Wow, tech’s Ramirez down 2 after 2 already after brilliant day yesterday. Long way to go obviously. 

All the the horns are off and running now. As are bama and tech. 

[sidis 9832]

Soosman have it back on 4. All square now and chevrony gives up a hole on 2 to go down one.
