Solo act: When Russell Henley's day on the golf course was done, he walked away with his head down and a saddened look on his face. He was not a very happy camper. What's surprising about that is Henley had just finished three days of play at 9-under 207 and was tournament medalist. That showing sent him advancing to the NCAA Championship finals the first week in June at The Honors Course.
The last time Georgia failed airline tickets germany to california to advance to the NCAA finals was the 1996-97 season, coach Chris Haack's inaugural campaign as Bulldogs coach. Along the way, Haack's Bulldogs have won two national titles.
Georgia certainly gave it a run and made it exciting, however. Starting the final round 11 shots out of fifth place and needing to overtake six teams for that No. 5 spot, Georgia, led by Henley's 3-under 69, made a valliant charge and shot 4-under 284 to force the playoff.
"We just couldn't pull it off," said Haack. "But I'm proud of these guys. They never quit. They fought so hard to come back. I'm sure they're all very disappointed right now, but hopefully we'll learn from it and move on."
But none, to say the least, as big as the one Saturday at the NCAA South Central Regional. With a closing round of 3-under 285, Texas Tech finished at 13-under 851 to edge host team Texas A M by a shot. It's the first region title ever for the Red Raiders.
"Last year we were right in there with a chance to win, but finished second by a couple of shots to Florida," Sands said. "It was a good experience for us and we put that experience airline tickets germany to california to good use today."
"Sometimes you just have to convince people you're good and I think we did that here this week," Sands said. "To win this tournament and to beat No. 2-ranked Texas A M on its own course, I think that shows everyone something."
"We had all five of our guys shoot par or better (last round) and that's a very good thing," Higgins said. "Texas Tech just played great and nipped us. But we'll get another shot at them in a week or so (at NCAA finals).
And I feel very confident that if we get in the top eight (after 54 holes of stroke play) and make it to match play (at finals), we have a great chance to repeat airline tickets germany to california (as NCAA champions). I think 1-5 we are as solid as any team in the country and could really do well again in match play."
Bears finally out of hibernation: The Baylor Bears have awakened from their NCAA finals hibernation, even if it did take a playoff alarm clock and a long, nervous afternoon of waiting. This will be the Bears' first trip to the national finals since 2002.
After the two teams finished tied for the fifth and final qualifying spot, they headed to the par-4 18th for a playoff. The first fivesome had three Georgia players and two from Baylor, with the next five some having three Bears and two Bulldogs.
The first group was Bryden Macpherson (par), T.J. Mitchell (+2) and Rob Bennett (+1) of Georgia and Ryan O'Rear (par) and Cody Paladino (par) of Baylor. The second group was Henley (par) and Harris English (par) of Georgia and Payne Gniewak (par), Lorenzo Scotto (+1) and Joakim Mikkelson (-1) of Baylor. After dropping the high score, Baylor was 1 under and Georgia was 1 over.
"When the guys came out today they knew what they had to do," said Priest. airline tickets germany to california "They did it, even if it did turn into a real nail-biter. This is so great for our program and I'm just so happy and proud of our guys. Right now, it's just such a great feeling."
Not so shocking: Pretty much all season long if you wanted to know how Wichita State played you'd get a good idea by seeing how Shocker senior Dustin Garza played. That again was the case at the South Central Regional. Garza shot 66-70 the first two rounds and was tied for the individual lead, while the Shockers stood in fourth place at 3-under par.
It was also the case the final round, but in a reverse manner. airline tickets germany to california Garza, who was looking for his eight tournament win of the season, had one of his worst showings of his career. He started off solid with two birdies on his first four holes, but then made seven bogeys and a double the rest of the way.
Quote of the day: "As I heard (Duke men's basketball coach) Mike Krzyzewski airline tickets germany to california once say, 'We're not defending anything. We're pursuing another championship.' That's how we look at it," Texas A M coach J.T. Higgins, on his Aggies, who will head to the NCAA finals and try to become the first team since Houston in 1984-85 to win back-to-back NCAA Division I golf titles.
