Ags are currently 1 of 3 teams that has all five players at even par or better for the tournament to this point. Playing solid. Just need to keep it that way.

In team match play 5 strokes can be made up in 2 holes. There are wild swings so we just need to stay close to the cut line and it all restarts at NCAAs.

Judging from the scores only, I would have expected a little more competitive track for a regional tournament.

It's so hard to get separation on an easy track.

was thinking the same thing. But if they are playing from the tips its a 7200 yard course with a rating of 75.6 and a slope of 143.

Ags having a pretty good day so far. All under par except Sam.

We have the 3rd best score of the day so far WITHOUT Bennett.

4 shots out of 5th for now with the back 9 to play. Would be great to get tied or within a shot of 5th before the end of today to set us up for tomorrow. Lots of teams playing well. 6th best score for the day and the 5 better than us today are ahead of us overall.

-7 on the day right now. Would feel good if they can finish -12 or so on the round. These teams are tearing this place up.

16 and 18 have yielded the most eagles so far, so hopefully we can gain some there compared to the other teams. GA Southern played them in -7 today, GA Tech played them in -9

was looking at the weather forecast. Wind will shift tomorrow from the Sw/West to the North. Not a strong wind though. We will see if the course plays any different.

3 of the teams ahead of us have already played the back today. need to stay patient and get to work the next two hours.

We really aren't gaining ground on the top 5, and 2 groups have passed us. We need to close well and close the gap before tomorrow.

So far we've been lousy on the back nine. A double and two bogeys so far. Only one birdie through 14 holes cumulatively played on the back nine. We gotta step it up.

2 over par last 5 holes

Yep. We were -6 on holes 16-18 yesterday.

SDSU just ran through 16-18 in -11

N. Ill went through 16-18 at only -4

have to make run there and hope Clemson cools off.

I think we need -21 heading into tomorrow

+7 on the back nine so far. seven.

Yikes. We're now 11 back of 5th. We really need a strong finish.

Vishnu just tripled 13. We are sucking today. We're now -2 on the day. Only three other teams are worse.

woof. not good.

uh oh

We are in bad shape right now.

So does Sams career end here if we don't advance? So frustrated for this team how they are playing. I know they are much better than this.

forcing ourselves in having to be perfect tomorrow and shoot -20 or better, which isn't gonna happen.

Man, this sucks. Was thinking after a good front 9 the would be able to make a real move on the back. Not so much.

He could still advance as individual.

I know individuals advance, but can't seem to find if it is based on their rankings or how they perform at regionals

lowest individual finisher NOT on a qualifying team...I think. So as it stands right now - Swanson from Clemson

EDIT:

Six 54-hole regional tournaments will be conducted May 15-17. Thirteen teams and 10 individuals not on those teams will compete at each of three regionals while the other three regionals will have 14 teams and five individuals not on those teams. The top five teams and the low individual not on those teams from each regional will advance to the finals.

The par 3, hole 13 made us it's *****. 6 over on 1 hole.

Just came out flat across the board. Depth should be the advantage of the higher ranked teams. Arkansas posted the low yesterday without any help from their #1. You have to have a couple guys show up and carry the water each day when other might not have their A game. Our guys have just all played very average. There won't be any pressure on them tomorrow though, so I can see them going low....but I still don't see how they dig out of this hole tomorrow without multiple teams above completely imploding. Tough way to end the season for the fellas.

Sam just eagled 16. If they can put together a magical round tomorrow and qualify, circle that eagle. Everyone else is off the course.

Followed up the eagle with a bogey at 17. Just not good enough this week.
