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.

-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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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)

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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