UNC Men’s Golf 2025-2026

[3397char]

We are starting on the back 9 and the 10th is playing easy this tourney, so safe to assume an early jump compared to the front 9 teams, then fighting to keep it.

 

[TAHeel]

Just keep this round on the rails and we're in really good position

 

[unc80]

Two Tar Heels within 1, back nine of the Charles Schwab.

 

[uncjhodges]

Great job today, -5 round to get us up to 7th and 6 clear of 9th right now

 

[TAHeel]

-5 is the 2nd best round of the top 15. We are certainly clear of the top 15 cut, should be ~6 up on 9th heading to tomorrow

 

[3397char]

Epic round today!

currently 9 clear of teams wrapping up their round and 10 clear of those still on their first 9 in the second flight.


top teams that are struggling:

• #2 UofF on the bubble tied for 15th, 1/3 through their round
• #6 Arky 8 strokes off the cut 1/3 through
• #7 LSU 13 strokes off the cut 1/3 through
• #9 Ole Miss 15 strokes off the cut 1/3 through

 

[NYHeel92]

That’s what we needed! Auburn and Texas are way out front. We are now in the second tier of teams from 3rd to 7th, only separated by three shots.

they cleaned up the tough parts of the course, like 17 and 18. +4 yesterday, +1 today. 7-9 they were +8 yesterday, +1 today.

 

[3397char]

Goal #1 tomorrow is obviously to stay in the top 8 and advance to match play.

goal #2 is to jump from 7th to 6th in order to avoid TX and Aub in the quarterfinals.

there are only 3 strokes separating 3rd through 7th entering round 4

LSU is currently 19 under for the day with 11 player holes remaining; a MASSIVE improbable jump to 10th place.

 

[TAHeel]

6 shots clear of 9th heading into tomorrow

 

[uncjhodges]

Good start today, we’re -2 as a team and up to t4. 5 clear of 9th

 

[uncjhodges]

Well we immediately dropped 3 shots and were only up 2 on 9th

 

[3397char]

Yeesh, making this stressful on ourselves.

sitting in 8th, we are now 3 strokes below 7th and only 2 strokes above the cut. +3 on the day when most teams are in the red. seems like ages since someone carded a birdie.

We are right at 2/3rds through the day.

 

[GoHeels95]

Dangerously close to ceding the 8th seed for match play to Tenn, Stanford or possibly UVA. Need some birdies badly.

 

[uncjhodges]

Quite the collapse happening

 

[UNCH]

No one can get birdie.

 

[uncjhodges]

wow Tennessees guy who js +10 eagles the 605 yard par 5 and they’re ahead of us. Meanwhile, Bertagnole and NSD are birdie free and counting

 

[uncjhodges]

This is getting really tight.
UCLA just had a 7 and an 8 knock them down to -3. Were -3 after a rosich bogey.
Stanford and Tennessee are -2 but their hottest players each have a par 5 left (that’s it) Arizona is -2 as well and limping home (UCLA and Arizona have par 5s left) Bertagnole has a par 5 left and then we have 7-8-9 (riley and rosich bogeyed 7 already)

 

[uncjhodges]

We’re done with our par 5s and -2 after Bertagnole birdied but sandhu and NSD bogeyed. We have to play par golf just to force a playoff the last 2 holes (and bertagnole has the 520 yard par 4 7th). I think we’re done

 

[3397char]

well we control our own destiny right now, as two of the other three teams tied at 6th are finished. need a birdie here to avoid a sudden death playoff, and a bogey seals our fate.

7 total holes left across the team.

 

[GoHeels95]

Looks like neither UVeA or dook will be part of match play. Don’t want to speak too soon but Cavs are finished at 1 over while Dook is +5 with a few holes left.

 

[3397char]

now 5 teams tied at 6th, Crazy. two finished, 3 still with golf to play. 3 will advance

 

[GoHeels95]

Back to -1 and 10th. *sigh*

 

[uncjhodges]

Bertagnole bogeys 7. Rosich pars 9. Need 1 birdie to force a playoff. What a disaster

 

[3397char]

Ugh, another bogey just where @uncjhodges predicted. we now need a birdie to survive to a playoff. 5 holes left total.

*Or both UCLA and AZ to bogey as well and drop to 8th.

 

[uncjhodges]

NSD huge birdie, his first of the day on the par 3 8th

 

[3397char]

birdie by Donegan! Back to a 5-way tie.

 

[uncjhodges]

Arizona bogeys the par 5 18th. They’re at -1.
UCLA guy has a tough 2 putt on 17.
We’re a birdie away from 6th and a bogey away from missing this

 

[UNCH]

Men sports at UNC are just not clutch.

 

[uncjhodges]

And right on cue, Sandhu bogeys 8 and 9. back to -1, tie for 9th

 

[3397char]

now need a birdie or for AZ to finish par or bogey and UCLA to bogey. only 3 holes left...

2 holes left...

 

[uncjhodges]

Arizona curls in a 10 footer for birdie on 18.
NSD or Bertagnole have to birdie the par 4 9th or we’re done

 

[uncjhodges]

Comes down to Bertagnole

 

[uncjhodges]

Bertagnole! clutch birdie to force a playoff.

 

[3397char]

OMG, this is the most intense experience of just watching a box score ever, lol.

 

[uncjhodges]

OMG, this is the most intense experience of just watching a box score ever, lol.

It’s on golf channel. Mostly focusing on the individual but they showed the birdie putt

 

[uncjhodges]

UCLA pars 18. So it should be a 4 for 2 playoff

 

[3397char]

I assume our playoff waits for all the stroke play to end?

 

[uncjhodges]

I assume our playoff waits for all the stroke play to end?

I guess, god forbid they explain anything
No one ***** on their fans more than golf channel

 

[NYHeel92]

Anyone know what’s going on now? Playoff start time? Any way to follow besides Golf Channel? Sorry!

There’s actually a link on the same stats site. Found it.
