THE LINEUP
The Cougars will be represented by junior Luke Long, senior Logan Young, junior Alexander Frances, senior George Gardner and junior Andrew Gibson.

Senior Matt Cole and sophomore Braxton Watkins will compete as individuals.

Coogs killed it on the 1st day. Let’s see if they can keep it up over the next two days.


Coogs have moved into the lead and opened a 4 stroke advantage late in the 2nd round. Impressive outing so far.

UH has a six stroke lead in the 2nd round. I’m impressed because the #1 (Wake Forest) and #2 (SMU) ranked golf programs in the country are playing in this tournament.

It’s a positive sign, but we need consistency. Also how is it we’re the host of a tournament in the Bahamas?

If this truly becomes the norm and we are competitive again, I will humbly eat crow for some of the comments I have made here. Did not see this coming.

Half way through the 3rd round we are playing well and continue to hold a five stroke lead. Arkansas is making a charge. WF and SMU are fading. Looking good for the finish, but we have to finish.

Good lord, Arkansas is making a huge run to try and win this thing. 3 strokes back and it isn’t as if the Coogs are playing badly. Just got to hang on.

We stand a good chance of winning this tournament. We’re shooting a lights out -10 for the final round and still maintain a 6 stroke lead with 3-6 holes to play.

Looks like we got it. 6 strike lead with only a couple of golfers left to finish up. Arkansas fell back a bit and FSU now in 2nd.

Congrats, Coogs.

When you consider our recent struggles, this is a big step forward. We must be more consistent but this is a great way to complete the fall schedule. Great positives to start the Spring next year.
