Oh noooo! tOSU had pulled into the top 15 with ONE hole left to record - their guy having his best day. He bogeys #9 to drop them into a tie with Texas Tech!

What are the tie breakers!?
An Ohio State and a Texas Tech player go to each of the five holes designated for the playoff. Every score counts. Lowest aggregate wins. Also, the playoff is tomorrow morning, not tonight.

Yeah, the unfortunate news is that it appears we're going to see ~8 of the top 11 teams qualifying for Match Play. In that field, anyone can defeat anyone.

Maybe we'll get lucky and face SF or Colorado in round 1 on Tuesday.
Match play is definitely an entirely different animal than stroke play.
I'm thinking that other teams are hoping to get lucky by avoiding us in the 1st round. :chief:

I was looking at the top 15 playoff for tomorrow. There are no pairings yet, but it does say that they're playing a par 68 course of 6987 yards. Is this true? That's about 300 yards and 2 strokes less than the first 3 days.

Only the top 8 teams in stroke play qualify for the match play playoffs starting on Tuesday. Tomorrow, the individual players championship
is determined, and the top finishers will get direct entry to the PGA tour.
This information is not exactly true. The top 5 finishers in what is the newly named PGA Tour University will get some benefits. The top ranked player, not necessarily the NCAA champion, will get a tour card to the PGA Tour. Nos. 2-5 get exempt to the Korn Ferry Tour and can take as many sponsor exemptions as offered. The next 15 are exempt to Canada, Latin America, and Asian Tours.

For correct information, there are several articles listing benefits for something called PGA Tour University. It is something new and the information is somewhat different depending upon the year of the article explaining it was written. Some date back to 2020. Only the top ranked player eligible for the competition and meeting all the requirements will get a Tour card immediately after the NCAA Div. 1 tournament. Players must meet a considerable number of requirements and not all NCAA tournament contestants will be participating. After a rather quick glance (so don't hold me to it) I believe only 2023 graduates will be eligible this year. The article I read states it is a 15 minute read and it is not an easy one...so have at it.

I believe they are Arizona times. I don’t know why the leaders get the latest tee times as the earlier teams tee off at 10

Pretty standard in golf for the leaders to get the latest tee times in the final round, isn't it?

With everyone starting within a 2-hour window I wouldn't expect the same kind of impact from weather as we saw with the early and late waves in rounds 1-3.

You’re right yea. Only in this tournament it hurts you more but I guess with the less teams they’ll play quicker and starting at 11 local time isn’t too bad. Good practice for match play when you play around that time

Osu has Neal Shipley to thank. Dude is on a heater and isn’t even ranked top 100. Osus top golfer who’s ranked like 9th bogied and so did texas tech top golfer who’s ranked 2nd. Disappointing championships for the top 3 golfers so far mostly. Everyone else par so osu won even to +1. The individual playoff just finished too. Arkansas and Colorado guys made par to advance with Texas tech guy making bogey to not advance.

Rip Shipley and osu bad time for Moldovan to struggle. Good time for Valdez to heat up and a and m needs bennett too if they want a chance.

Here is a link for Golf Channel coverage for anyone who can't access it otherwise. A lot of pop ups, but if you keep closing the ads and get the golf to play, it's actually a pretty decent stream.
