Georgia probably their best day of the year (golf-wise, of course), it'd be hard to repeat that performance. I see UGA and MSU looking to ensure they make the top 5, avoiding big risks if they have 2-3 guys not playing as well as they did in Round 1. Texas is our biggest threat, and Florida could either join or be in big trouble depending on how Tuesday goes.
Wasn't this previously a 4-round regional? Going to 3 rounds definitely gives teams like Sparty a better shot of sneaking into the finals.
That is a solid start to the regional. The 4 seniors all showed their game and carried us. Basard with a bogey free 67 on the day in a round where he parred all three par 5s.
We are right where we need to be. This all about survive and advance to Nationals. Sure you want to win everything but really it doesn't matter as long as your in the top 5. That being said, I have faith that our depth will not only keep us in here but push us onward. Mich st is kicking above their weight for sure and little rock also. Not that those teams will necessarily fall, all good teams here in this regional. Would be shocked if Florida doesn't push up the leaderboard today. Also one of the deepest teams in the field and I think a legit national contender.

I don't believe it's ever been 4 rounds -- at least as long as I've been following.
if i read the Kuhl issue correctly, the club could have made a local rule and allowed players to fix aeration marks but did not.
often the best clubs have equipment that slit the greens and fill with a fine sand. when they do it that way, the result is very
playable within a day or two.

Who is the 4th senior? ADC, Besard and TK are 5th year guys, Hunt is a Jr and Buchanon is a Soph. But I get your point as the veterans played solid yesterday. Another double digit under par round will set us up nicely for tomorrow.

Georgia coming out hot again.
That would be Georgia pukes.
Kuhl not being too cool so far.
Buchanan fighting back to even going -3 after nine.
But team is still comfortably in second place by 4.
No benefit. Everything starts over. Tee times and groupings may be affected by regional finish but that would be all.
Yes they are. Vey impressive. On the individual leaderboard 4 of the first 5 names are UGA players. Florida struggling is definitely a surprise. 10 off the cut line at this point is not insignificant.
In other fun news, NIU made the regional for the second time ever and is currently above the cut line and ahead of #2 UNC. Good for them!
4? Hunt is only a junior
Georgia girls team won their regional too with a golfstat ranking of 30. Peaking at the right time. Of course the Georgia girls played at home. Speaking of msu is on a home course ish. Big advantage for them
Playing good golf. Just a few holes by every player preventing us from having those massive almost flawless rounds. Like hunts double bogey on a not so difficult par 5.
That's what I thought. Thanks!
don't know why I said that 4, only 3 seniors.
Hunt showed up big with that eagle. Tough double for besard he was on fire. This course has tons of water I’m guessing I’ve seen a lot of triple and quad bogies
While we wait for third round: Coach Small obviously knows the portal. College golf portal? It exists. Surely you don't think it exists, Shirley. I think he's gotta recruit an experienced steady horse to help lead the team and add depth much like Matthis.
Hope Jerry recovers. Got a lot of talent on the team and the new recruits.
