Mens Golf NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[augolf1716 21,646]

And we're off............. just started our round currently 1 under with two players on the course. Course must be playing tough best score for a team that have played thru 16 holes is 5 over which is Ohio St. the higher ranked teams are just now teeing off. Being a holiday weekend I will try to keep everyone up to date but I will be a little busy.

[augolf1716 21,646]

Damn Gilbert had a 9 on par 4 guess we'll not be using his scorecard thank god we're deep but that will hurt a little today. It puts a little pressure on the other four players because unless Gilbert goes on a birdie spree we will not use his scorecard

[augolf1716 21,646]

We started on back 9 currently 3 over as a comparison Vandy is 6 over. We are teamed with Vandy and N. Carolina

[augolf1716 21,646]

We sit at 2 over tied for fourth thru about 13 holes. I'm happy with how we are playing this course is a tough one at least today it is. Another thing is no team has ever played this course until their practices rounds yesterday. 

Would have been nice if Gilbert had not had that frickin 9 on the par 4 pretty well took him out of play today.

[augolf1716 21,646]

Finished at 5 over in seventh place 17th hole hurt us 4 guys bogeyed the hole. Overall a decent score this is a marathon not a sprint still have 36 holes just to get in the top 15 then another 18 to get into top 8 to start match play. To get to finals they will have played 8 rounds of golf carrying their own bags.

trying to help mr golf but this might not help?

 

All 30 teams and six individuals will complete 54 holes of stroke play. Following 54 holes of competition, the top 15 teams along with the top nine individuals not on an advancing team will advance for one additional day of stroke play to determine the top eight teams for match-play competition and the 72-hole stroke-play individual champion. The top eight teams after 72 holes of play will be placed into a bracket thereafter.

Men’s golf trio earns PING All-Region honors

Auburn University Athletics

4–5 minutes

---

CARLSBAD, Calif. – Auburn men's golfers J.M. Butler, Jackson Koivun and Brendan Valdes were all named to the All-Southeast Region Team, as announced by PING and the GCAA Saturday.

  It is the first all-region appearance for Koivun, second for Valdes and third for Butler. Koivun is Auburn's first freshman named to the all-region team since Brandon Mancheno in 2018.

  In a rookie season that has seen unprecedented success, Koivun has commanded national attention with a pair of wins, 31 of 37 rounds at par or better and top-five showings in 10 of 12 tournaments. The 2024 Ben Hogan Award Winner and SEC Player of the Year pushed the Tigers to a fifth SEC title and the No. 1 seed heading into the 2024 NCAA Championship.

  Valdes has traded top finishes with Koivun all year long as the junior is poised for another All-American run. Nine top-10 finishes for the Orlando, Florida native have resulted in a No. 9 ranking in the latest Scoreboard poll. He boasts a 70.11 scoring average on the year behind four eagles and 154 birdies.

  In his final spring on The Plains, Butler has been a medalist threat in nearly every event. The senior picked up a pair of wins over a three-tournament span to collect the second and third victories of his career. He is one of nine players in Auburn history to hit the three-win mark.

  The trio looks to lead the Tigers to an NCAA Championship this week, May 25-29,  at the Omni La Costa Champions Course in Carlsbad, California. 

Players Mentioned

J.M. Butler

6' 3" Senior

Brendan Valdes

6' 0" Junior

Jackson Koivun

5' 10" Freshman

Really nice close by the boys.  Had fallen to +14 as a team overall and + 9 for the day, end up with 6 birdies in the last 3 holes to sit +10 and T-9 with plenty of teams left to go on a hard course.  Really resilient end there.

[autan 773]

Auburn is finished for the day coming on strong after a slow start. Looking at the leader board you would expect the good guys to end up about like yesterday 5th or 6th spot when the dust settles after 2nd round.  But we know our Tigers have it in 'em to make a charge on the Cavaliers once again like they did in the Regionals.  WDE!!

[augolf1716 21,646]

Thanks all for pitching in........rough day for the good guys until last 4 or 5 holes guys came thru at the end with some birdies to improve on such a terrible start. I just want to shoot par or better tomorrow to get some cushion before we start the final round of stroke play on Monday. Got to give credit to the team for hanging in there while Vandy was playing so well. Really wish they would get the Nationals back to the eastern US or even the southeast. Seems like the last 4 or 5 years have been in AZ or CA.

i will try to keep up and you can us dummies what it means. i have to stay out of the sun so i am chilling inside.

[augolf1716 21,646]

Just like @autan said we are slowly climbing currently back in 5th just like we started. I think we may move up to 4th if Ohio St. keeps falling they still have about 12 holes to play. This is one hard course would love to see it on TV so I could tell what's the story on why so hard.

Golf I've read several players say you have to be really good with the driver.   Others talked about how firm the greens are.   Others talked about tough pin placements.   Some call it a second shot course.  One thing is clear, it is a tough track.

Thanks....I've heard you have to be patient and really control your ball, control your trajectory and control your spin. You're exposed if you can't." Patients is not the strongest suit for some young college players our big exception is Jackson who's sitting at 1 under and 4th in individual leaderboard atm and.
