As I was looking at the scores across the country, I noticed Wichita State is in good position to win the MVC men's golf title. For those you ******** about the addition of WSU to the AAC, they've won the conference 8 times since 2008.

I think most of the ******** was about their football team ...

On Temple's thread, they asked why we play basketball.

Interested to see which region we are seeded.

Last time, they shipped the team to Albuquerque, N.M..

BULLS COMPLETE THREE-PEAT AT CONFERENCE TOURNEY

 

Quotables

Head coach Steve Bradley on the Bulls capturing their third straight conference title:

“It feels good. These guys have just battled and played exceptionally in the month of April, when their backs were against the wall. They responded to adversity and they played the golf course very well. They played for themselves, they played for each other, and it was an awesome week.”

Up Next

USF will find out which regional it will be headed to during the NCAA Selection Show on Thursday, May 4 at noon (TV: Golf Channel).

I often ask myself why I golf.  Seemed sort of relevant at the moment.   They have to be questioning..... Golf can do that to you.

One thing I'll be following closely through July is who will end up  #1 WAGR.

Right now Maverick McNealy (Stanford) is #1.

Maverick McNealy

• 1WAGR POSITION
• UNITED STATESCOUNTRY
• 1327.4500 POINTS AVERAGE

USF '17 signee Joaquin Niemann is #2;

Niemann will draw closer to him tomorrow, when his victory at the Junior Invitational will be added. 

Why is it important for Niemann to be #1 by August?

Because of the McCormack Medal.

McCormack Medal

 

The award is named after Mark H McCormack, the late founder of sports marketing company IMG and an avid supporter of amateur golf. The Mark H McCormack Medal is awarded to the player ranked number one in the WORLD AMATEUR GOLF RANKING^TM after the European Amateur Championship or U.S. Amateur Championship, whichever concludes the last.

Mark H. McCormack Medal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

The Mark H. McCormack Medal is presented annually by The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews to the leading player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking after the last 'elite' event of the season. The award is named after World Golf Hall of Famer Mark McCormack, who was an avid supporter of golf and the founder of IMG.^[1]

In 2011, New Zealand's Lydia Ko was awarded the first ever women's Mark H. McCormack Medal,^[2] a trophy she retained in 2012^[3] and 2013.

Beginning in 2012, the previous year's men's winner receives an invitation to both the U.S. Open and The Open Championship provided he remains an amateur.^[4][5]

^{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_H._McCormack_Medal}

McNealy won the medal last year. He is a senior at Stanford and is tied with Tiger Woods for most college victories.

Unlike most world class college golfers, McNealy might NOT turn professional:

"Despite being America's most highly rated professional golf prospect in 2016, McNealy has said he is seriously considering passing on professional golf for a career in business.^[4][5]

His father, Scott McNealy, co-founded Sun Microsystems, which was acquired by Oracle Corporation for $7.4 billion in 2010.

It would be great to see a USF player in both the U.S. Open and the Open Championship!
