[QUOTE="WesterveltVictoryCigar, post: 1315624, member: 3734"] They had one outstanding player, Aaron Wise. And since the switch to match play, no you don't have to have a "great team" to win. Especially when you get to play on your home course. False. They finished in 6th place at the Pac 12 championships prior to the start of the NCAAs. They only won 1 tournament the whole year, and it was the first one of the season. Disagree emphatically. They were a borderline top 25 team that would have had a tough time advancing anywhere else. And the course knowledge is huge. There's a big, big difference between playing a course 3-4 times vs hundreds of times. Not to mention hundreds of fans, cheerleaders and mascots cheering you on, being able to sleep in your own bed, etc. [/QUOTE]
