A Sea Of Red

Got to feel bad for GT. They got blindsided by Augusta.

Augusta has a really good golf program, despite the fact that they are a D2 school except for mens and womens golf. They won back to back national championships in 2010-11 and their home course (the school actually owns and operates it) is the second most famous in town........ Forest Hills.

This was a disappointment. Our recent history in golf has been strong finishes. Not today.

I won't argue that fact, but on a day when most teams were improving on their first two rounds scores, we had our worst day. We were the third highest score for the day, ahead of only the two schools who were completely out of it the whole tournament.

I agree, LU needed to finish strong but they didn't. No excuses there. But playing the woulda, coulda, shoulda game, Liberty was up to 17 under near the turn. Had they had that addition 7 stoke cushion pushing them to 24 under they might have played more relaxed and certainly could have played more conservative (using 3 woods off some of the tee boxes vs. drivers, etc.). Just hurts being so close and not closing the deal.

Local golfer from Forest Va., Zach Bauchou, gets some good press in leading OK. State to their national championship victory over Bama.
