I know it's tough when a non-scorer wins, but definitely doesn't take away from his accomplishment. Congrats to Freddie on winning outright, only guy to post a red number!

Two weeks to prepare for the B10 Championship at Pumpkin Ridge in Oregon. No clue what that roster is going to look like...

What has happened to Herendeen? I don't follow golf that much, but I was expecting him to be our best player, and in fact, he has the worst stroke average of the regulars this spring (72.28). Is he dealing with an injury?

Max had 15 bogeys and 2 doubles paired with just 5 birdies over the three rounds. Hopefully he finds his game before Big Ten. He's had 2 good performances this spring but the rest haven't been great.

max is a bit feast or famine right now. He did win the Duck invitational just 2 tourneys ago. But he has not been in the top 30 outside of that. We could really use him firing on all cylinders when it matter here the next few weeks.

Ryan with a t6 last week is gonna help his cause some with the PGA Tour university rankings. He is right on the bubble of the PGA America tour exemption. top 25 get exempt and his is 25th. Really important finish to the year for him.

Gotta wonder what the 5 for the Big championship looks like. I really don't know who is left out.

Trey? Freddie? Jake?

Gotta be Vois, Max and Dane I think. Really don't know. Anybody have insight?

All 6 deserve consideration but none have been dominant. My guess is Max and Ryan are in for sure based on their experience, and after that who knows (maybe Freddie is in coming off a win). Coach probably did a qualifier last weekend.

I will predict that whoever doesn't make the roster on Friday will sub in on Saturday and absolutely kill it. Feels like that kind of weekend.

The pic at the plane shows Dane, Jake, Ryan, Max, Freddie and Trey. I believe Jake is the sub. All 6 are definitely deserving. Hoping weather is good and putts are rolling in.

It's up on Scoreboard, Dane-Ryan-Max-Trey-Freddie with Jake as the sub. Dane has probably played the course before, it's within 30 minutes of his hometown. Hopefully they start strong!
