weather is potentially going to be an issue.

birdie fest early. I thought Traditions always played pretty tough in setups like this.

I'm surprised how low teams are going early.

For anyone looking at the details on the card … here is the key:

#8 is actually #1 that way 9,18,1,10 are all in the same spot

Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

They did the same for the Memorial.

I think there's some good history on the original routing and building of the course. I know things have been flipped around. Maybe someone can enlighten us on that detail but I think I was told 19 holes in the original offering. I've been out there a few times in the last four years and my garmin watch was all out of whack. I'll do a quick grok search and see what comes back.

For a look at how the holes are playing. Remember #8 is #1.

The Ags finish strong at -12. They are in 1st place, two shots ahead of UNC and 5 ahead of tu who is currently in 4th. The biggest number is that they are currently 8 strokes ahead of the 6th place team, where 5 teams qualify for nationals.

It was a great first day.

Gap above the cut line is growing as Chattanooga limps to the close on the front 9.

Looks like it will be 10 shots going into day 2.

2" of rain forecast tomorrow night

Ok … light rain and muggy is the weather report.

But, the plan is to go 36 today and get it in before the heavy rain.

Let's go Ags! Balls are in the air.

Walking 36 at Traditions is a full day of work.

Fatigue will be a factor. Should favor the home team.

Rain has mostly stopped and some wind remains. Greens are soft and receptive.

tu had 16 birdies and an eagle on the back nine (where they started this morning)!

Ags started on the harder front nine, but only 2 back sitting in second.

Nothing but birdies and an eagle for their counting scores …. A 26 and a 29!

Looking at 9/7 green

Round 3 under way … Ags in second (27) and 18 shots clear of not advancing.

Potter and Wheat are now tied at -14 playing opposite sides of the course.

What Luke Potter is doing to this course is insane.

And his score isn't even counting for them half way through round 3.

Ponder that.

The last 9 holes could really be fun if we can go on a run like tu has on the back nine to start round 3.

#21 New Mexico at +14 has me baffled. I guess they are used to desert golf????

They probably can't even breath with the humidity. Let alone ball distance and flight differences.

Parmar cards a 2 on #13 to cut the tu lead to 2.

And followed with a birdie on the next hole!
This is when the horns start fading.

#22 Ga Tech is in last place in their regional...24 shots out of 5th place. A few other highly ranked teams like #6 Arkansas and #7 Texas Tech are hanging on by a thread to qualify.

GOLF is hard!

Arky has struggled some lately. Little John wasn't even in the starting 5 man team playing in a tournament not long ago. Makes me wonder if something is going on behind the scenes.

What did he do, drove the green over the trees?

Probably holed it from the fairway.

Pretty crazy we'll finish over 100 shots better than a team in the field and won't win the regional.
