Phew.

Massive missed putt from EMU on the 16th to tie the round.

Liao in trouble here for the Horns.

Eastern Michigan will advance in Match Play over the Horns here.

Hsu falls in the end. EMU advances. 
 

collegiate golf sees its great Cinderella advance to face Stanford, its Beheamoth. 
 

Texas matches its Projections directors cup wise. Laura Ianellos second year is ultimately a success.

next up is the men

If Ianello can continue to develop golfers like O’Keefe and consistently has Texas in the NCAA Matchplay bracket they will break through and win a National Championship sooner rather than later.

 

Texas will lose two seniors. O’Keefe should return for her senior year. Texas will be back in the NCAA Nationals next year. 👀

The Men tee of Friday Morning for Stroke Play. 

Well that eliminates any feel good aspect of their story. YUCK

Just checked their roster - 11 girls, three from the USA (including the two from California mentioned in the X post) and the other eight from Thailand (3x), Australia, Colombia, Belgium, Italy and the Philippines.

The proposed Cruz-Cantwell legislation to protect college sports has a provision that schools cannot drop programs even if they run low on funds caused by spending on BB and football.  "Protect our Olympic sports" is mentioned.

Thinking about this because I recently read Louisville is over-spending on men's BB and football and considering cutting other sports.  And Arkansas announced it was dropping both men's and women's tennis - total income from those two programs was around $3,000 (including $82 from women's tennis), but the costs for coaches, tennis court access, travel and scholarships was roughly $2,300,000 annually.  61% of the women's team and 64% of the men's team were international students. (Arkansas found an angel donor to fund tennis for a while, so it backed off dropping the programs).

Interesting times.

Correct. I have no issues with it but I just think the rules should dictate that you go to some in person classes and live in the same town as the school. Not in California where you can be independent really from a school like EMU while cashing their check and wearing a green uniform.

Texas finishes -1 on the day.

good solid consistent day all around.

tied 6th going into round 2

Texas is up and at it this morning for round two 

 

 

Texas is off to the races early with two early birdies and an eagle that has them -4 on the morning thru 5 holes.
