Justin Thomas T10 at Torrey Pines. Way to go! Could be start of something big for former Alabama standout.

How shocking would it be if Cal and/or Alabama did not make Elite 8 -- like having a snowstorm in South Fla. -- in the middle of August. .

Just ran into former Ball St. coach Earl Yestingmeyer. So great to see him again. 80 yrs young and still following Cards everywhere they go.

Beautiful, sunshine day here at NCAA at Crabapple. Let's hope next six are just as good. Teams done with practice rds. Ready to rock 'n roll

1st group off day off #1 just completed final round at Blessings. On a perfect day for golf, it took them 5 hours and 50 minutes. YAWN!

Last group of day starting at #10 finally made the turn. Only took the threesome 3 hours ad 10 minutes. Definitely no speeding tickets.

Ark. legendary FB coach/AD, and avid golfer, Frank Broyles out and about at Blessings GC watching action at Fayetteville regional.

Huge battle for all important 4 & 5 spots at Fayetteville regional. Should be intense come Saturday. Okie and Kent St. still hanging on, but

Great seeing good friend Jay Fox, ex. dir. Ark. GA at Fayetteville regional as a rule official. He's one of the best. Great day for golf.

Coaches Casey Martin (Ore) and Ryan Hybl (Okla) advance to US Open sectional qualifying. Tim Mickelson (Ariz. St) is an alternate. Congrats!

Still cold, windy. But rain stopped and sun has peaked out. Play getting back underway at Linger Longer after just over 2 hour delay.

Thanks, Asher. I needed that. I'm sure Rick LaRose would be proud me right now. But, hey, my Rainman, Dark Cloud, Ron reputation still alive

Alistar. Keep your snow, But glad to know you took Izzy out and gave her a walk. What I've learned is dogs love snow, even if we don't..

Raining. Cold. Now Thunder. Yepper, play has been stopped in 1st round at Linger Longer. What happened to spring in the South?

And just like that, TCU back on top by 2 over NM with Cal now 4 behind. Cal's M. Kim 6 under on day and leads at 9 under by 1 over Stalter.

Only few holes left at Ariz. Clg with New Mexico leading by 1 over TCU and 2 over Cal. Anyone's game at this point among those three.

Midway in final rnd at Ariz. Clg. TCU leads Cal by 2. Could get intense. Will Bears finally NOT win. Don't bet on it just yet.

Great to see good friend and former UA men's golf coach Rick LaRose today at the Ariz. Collegiate.He still is quite the class-act character.

Cold and windy out at GC at Vistoso for Ariz. Collegiate. Nothing new when I show up for this event. At last Rainman Ron didn't bring rain.

No, 18 Liberty is T3 after 1st 18 holes at Ariz. Collegiate, but Flames had the lowest throw out score in the 15-team field -- 2 over 73.
