[QUOTE="WhiteRhino, post: 1392948, member: 633721"] There is no comparison between that and the home course advantage that Oregon enjoyed the year they won. Not only did Oregon play on their home course, but the player who clinched both the semifinal match and championship match grew up in Eugene. His mother is a professor at the University of Oregon and that was actually the course he had been playing his entire life, so he knew it better than anyone -- except his coach, Casey Martin, is also a Eugene native who played at Oregon. So you had both a player and a coach who were playing for the national championship on a course they had played regularly their entire lives. That is as big of a home course advantage as a team could possibly have.
