Mens Golf Advances to NCAA Finals Round

Sorry, I'm a little late on this, but USC men's golf advanced to the final round of play in the NCAA tournament despite an injury to All American and former NCAA individual champion Jamie Lovemark. From CSTV:

USC finished a combined 11-under 853 (285-284-284), one stroke ahead of sixth-place New Mexico (854-280-292-282) and four ahead of San Diego State (857-286-287-284). The Trojans, who started the day in fifth, fell behind both teams early but managed to rally on the back 9, where they were a combined 5-under.

Only the top 5 teams advance from each region, and as you can see the Trojan men just barely made it. Last year USC fell just short of a title, finishing in third overall and just two strokes behind ucla for the championship. However, if Lovemark can return healthy then SC has a strong shot at the title, especially consdering the great season that Sophomore Matthew Giles is having.

Even if this year isn't the year, USC should return nearly everyone save for Glissmeyer, and make a run at the tutlke again next year. ...But it would be nice to take home a golf championship this year anyways. FIGHT ON!

Man, bummer for Lovemark- torn rib cage muscle. Then there’s Sluiter and Lim. Those guys were just flat out hosses on the course. They’ll play at Inverness in Toledo, OH. Coach Zambri still likes our chances with or without Lovemark. Man, is this coach putting together a stellar class. Most of his top golfers are underclassmen. Giles and Sluiter being sophomores and Lim being only a freshman who had the low round (66) at the NCAA qualifiers at Lake Merced in New Mexico.

Inverness is rated by Golf Week Digest as one of the top 100 private/public golf courses in America. It’s a par- 71 course, has a course rating of 74.3 and a slope rating of 142. (pretty f-ing tough, in a nutshell)

Comer4tide to Nico2.0: "How come I've never heard of any of your random songs?"
Todd to Comer: "Because if you had, he wouldn't listen to it. BOOM. Roasted."
Nico to Todd: "Shouldn't you be off voguing somewhere?"
