Texas Golf: Championship Week

[Goodman 3,273]

I did not expect our best player to meltdown this way. Shit, our two best players did not show up today.

 

 

[bigup2dahorns 3,343]

Tough loss

[kingkoopa6 8,344]

Fuck Duke

[Tailgate 3,021]

Well, can't complain too much. Dude nailed 18.

[Tailgate 3,021]

Let's go Baseball!

[Goodman 3,273]

Just can't give up a hole like we did on 17. 

 

I expect us to suck the next few years and be back in contention in 3 years or so.

[Horny Bull 2,759]

That’ll do it. Bummer.

[X-Wing @Aliciousness 103]

Tough way to end the season. Ever since Oregon 2 years ago this program can’t buy a good break in the NCAAs

That was the worst because:

1 - It was clear we had the best team and we were going to celebrate on their shitty course.

2 - Our version of Drew Jones was a cracked out Taylor Funk and he almost pulled off the unthinkable.

3 - It was the Championship match

4 - We were never able to celebrate Hossler's glory, that weirdo has serious game but is just another good player here vs. a golf legend while here.

5 - Scottie dominated a very good player who was playing his best golf of the season(Wise).

What a letdown. Ghim goes out with a choke job. Could be a little bit before we are back in this position.

[Austin Orange 98]

Beau Hossler = Colt McCoy

I love Ghim. But, he has been pretty consistent in last round, last holes of match play. Letdown is a stretch.

[Cairn Horn88 8,259]

Bama, auburn, and Duke are in, with Okie lite battling aggy for last spot.  Go lite.

[bamachine 1,230]

Sorry, wanted the Horns in the semis, guaranteeing that one of them make it to the finals. Hope my guys keep Duke out of the finals.

That’s called a loss. He didn’t choke. 

[HenryJames 66,035]

This is Shaggy Surly. Texas athletes can never be beaten. They can only fail.

[Caddox 952]

Did y’all even watch? Ghim has 4 very makeable putts to convert and couldn’t get one of them to fall. On three of those he blew them past and had to make comebackers. Shuman gifts him a hole, tries to gift him another and Ghim yanks it in the water. Goes to 18 and drives it into an awkward bunker lie. The guy definitely choked, he and Shuman are on different levels as players.

Yes, Ghim is the No. 1 amateur in the world and Shuman isn’t. Ghim was down 4 after 6 and squared it with 2 holes left. Maybe the first 6 holes were the choke, idk, but he certainly went down swinging. 

Its golf, man. Some days you make those putts, sometimes they don’t drop. Duke getting to the semis after having the second best round score is no accident either. Clearly a club playing good golf right now

And Oregon matched up their weakest golfer with Beau to have their No. 5 guy pick up an automatic W. Thought that was a cowardly move myself, but maybe I would’ve thought different had Texas been in that position

As a guy very familiar with watching his team choke in golf, I gotta agree with you.  That was an 18 hole choke job.  He just never seemed to have it.  His the #1 amateur player in the US.  What was the Duke player's ranking?

Well, they were tied going to 18.  Shaman had a great 2nd shot on the par 5 into the middle of the green and drained an eagle putt.  Shuman won the 18th....Ghim overall today, did not play well.  Ballgame.

aggy loses to Okie lite and goes home.

[sidis 9,822]

I blame myself for moving into this thread instead of stayin in the subforum thread. 

Damnit. 

[sidis 9,822]

bama is rolling duke up from the get-go.  long way to go but they crushed them in the first couple of holes.

[sidis 9,822]

these matches are getting really good.  all but one are currently A/S or within 1 stroke except for the douchebag dude from duke who beat ghim.  he clearly left it all out on the course against doug because he is getting absolutely waxed.  down 5 through 7 right now.

[Homercles 10,205]

Was that the bastard who we was chucking rocks around in the rough to get his shot?

[Homercles 10,205]

Pokes putting keeps blowing opportunities. Feels familiar

[sidis 9,822]

bama back to dominating duke...that one should be over shortly.

basically at the turn, okstate up 3-2 with 2-3 shot leads in their 3.  down 1 and down 3 in the others.  in good shape, but still a ways to go.

[sidis 9,822]

bama swept duke bad.  3, 3, 3, 6, and 2.  they dude that beat ghim lost by 6.

okstate up 3-2...they are up 4, 4, and 5 in those three but just really starting the back side.

Sorry, not sorry. No matter the results tomorrow, thanks for taking out AU though, did not want to take a chance of them pulling one out of their asses for bragging rights.

I need to thank them for taking out OU. I can stomach losing to AU, Duke, or Bama. I could not live if we lost to aggy or Ou.

Same except my no go teams to lose to were AU, OU and aggy, in that order. I could have handled Duke or you guys tomorrow.

From the start, the one team I’ve been watching and rooting the hardest against is Bama. Something told me they were gonna play great. Every now and then I get one right. Dammit. I scared about tomorrow.

They have been a schizo team all season, as high as number 1, down to the 20's. Seen that in the tourney too. They shot a team course record(then) one day, then shot a +13 the next. They played good today, who knows about tomorrow. They have the talent to win but they seem to get in their own heads too much. Either way, looking forward to a good match, may it go to a playoff hole to decide it.

[Go Pokes 979]

I should add, if we hang on and win here. I am an OSU fan and we’re leaking a bit of oil here.

[Austin Orange 98]

Duke just got boat raced. 5-0. Not a close match in the 5.

[Okie State 3,804]

OSU and Bama it is. Let's do this.

[Go Pokes 979]

Duke just got boat raced. 5-0. Not a close match in the 5.

I wonder what kind of fight the Horns would have given them. Obviously couldn’t do any worse.

[Caddox 952]

This seems like a good matchup. I do think it’s annoying ok state has home team advantage. Although I almost don’t care bc the course looks so cool. 

I kind of think it would be cool if they played it at the same course every year. Somewhere like Rosenblatt that would be fun for people to travel to.

[sidis 9,822]

they're off...

okie state's first two guys both win first hole.  this is going to be a heavyweight bout the whole way i suspect.  would be surprised if anyone gets more than 2 holes ahead either way.

[Okie State 3,804]

Wonder how many Aggies showed up to root on Bama.

I keep telling myself that I'm going to play Karsten one day. But then I remember that the green fee is $350 and I'm a hacker.

Yea going up for a night game and playing Karsten before would be quite a little Saturday. Little different than when they threw me in the pokey after Charles went bestrode on them in the 2nd half when I was in college. Apparently they frown on you jumping on a pretty girl's hood leaving the game and riding it down the street. 

[sidis 9,822]

relatively good start for osu.  they are up 3-1-1 with hole leads of 2, 4, and 3.  down 1 and A/S in others.  first group through 7, last group through 4.

[sidis 9,822]

osu firmly in control now.  they lead in all matches. 

up 3 thru 13

up 4 thru 13

up 2 thru 12

up 2 thru 11

up 8 thru 10

[bamachine 1,230]

Just got back from taking dad to Dr appt, seems every other day Bama showed up today. That or the Pokes are playing balls out. Dammit, losing both men and women's finals.

Grats to the Pokes fan on here

[sidis 9,822]

well, bauchou (osu) just won 8&7 which would seem bad for the bama guy...until you consider that bauchou shot a fucking 29(!!!) on the front 9 today.  nothing like signing a 58 on the day.  bama dude never stood a chance.  hovland (osu) shot a 31 on the front 9.  wolff (osu) shot a 32 on the front 9.  ventura (osu) shot a 39 on the front.  eckroat (osu) shot a 35.

osu had one guy over par through 9 and he was 3 over.  bama just ran into a buzzsaw.  not sure a team of jordan, rory, dj, justin thomas, and justin rose could have beaten osu today.

home course.
