3 rounds starting today. Gators are seeded 2nd in a 12 team field; top 4 advance to NCAAs. First tee at 10 ET. Team - NCAA Albuquerque Regional - 2022-05-09 Very tricky regional draw. Long travel and the high altitude will be a difficult adjustment. The good news is the host UNM didn't qualify and there don't seem to be many other teams in the field who will be too familiar with those conditions either (aside from the last 2 AQs who likely won't factor in).
Wrapped up a solid round 1 in 3rd, but the field is still tightly bunched. 1 Oregon 283 283 -5 2 Texas 287 287 -1 3 Florida 288 288 E T4 TCU 292 292 +4 T4 Georgia 292 292 +4 6 Arizona 293 293 +5
only have to be top 4. thing about theses regionals is that some courses are harder than others, weather can be bad at some, travel distance, no real way to make it a level playing field with so many varied sites, at least nationals will be fair to all.
Little concerned about the disparity in scores for UF, need to get at least 3-4 clicking rather than just 2 like today.
Still sitting in 3rd midway through the second round at -1, with Oregon pulling away from the pack a bit (-8).
Almost through the front 9 and fading fast at +5 on the day. We're in 7th place at +13, with top four at -9, -4, -2 and +7. Need to start seeing some red quickly, but only one birdie from the team today so far.
Rallied on the back nine to give ourselves a chance. Very tight battle for the last spot between TCU, UF and Arizona all playing together. 2 golfers in, last 3 on 16-18 now. Gators and TCU tied at +8, Arizona +10
Played the last two holes 4 over and TCU played them 2 over to knock us out by one stroke. The Gators just didn't have it this week and couldn't grind it out. Congrat's to Oregon, Texas, Georgia and TCU.
Yeah, she just didn't have it....and you need your most talentd player to at least be moderately steady. that was the difference for sure.
