[QUOTE="cagney1965, post: 1217142, member: 193905"] There is a large advantage in knowing a course's greens, knowing wind patterns, knowing contours of the fringe around the green, and fairways. This is also match play where knowledge is more important because you know more than your opponent about his upcoming shot. An opposing team can catch up in knowledge after playing the course several times, but it is an advantage. Hey, Oregon made the shots and putts in crunch time and you can not take anything away from them. However, I would not want my championship with a home course advantage hanging over it. It will always be questioned just like Kentucky's victory in 84. What is worse, they may play 5 against 4 tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
