The top 5 teams and the top individual not on a qualifying team will advance to the NCAA Championship at La Costa in Carlsbad, CA.
I’m curious as to how golf rankings are compiled. Tech finished one stroke ahead of us at the B12 Tournament and moved up 10 spots from #33 to #23. We only moved up three spots from #41 to #38.
Well we couldn’t have started out any worse. Currently dead-ass last, seven strokes worse than the second worst team (+14 to +7). We’re on holes 11-15 so things can change.
Going to be really tough with how much ground we have to gain and because #2 Oklahoma State and #10 North Carolina are also outside the Top 5 chasing a spot. They’ve both got more ponies in the stable than us.
Tough week for the good guys. Just hard to compete without having a guy in the top 10. Weibel has been pretty good this Spring - just having an off week.
Hard to contend and make it to NCAAs without having multiple guys in top 20.
