'Winning': OSU Men's Golf Looks Poised to Claim 5th Straight BIG12 Tournament Title

Big12 Golf action culminates in today's tournament at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, KS.  The three day, four round format will have 36 holes today and 18 holes Tuesday and Wednesday.  Number one ranked Oklahoma State dominated the first 2 rounds with a five man team that includes U.S. Amateur champ and Masters tournament participant Peter Uihlein and Kevin Tway, son of Cowboy golf great and 1986 PGA Tournament champion Bob Tway.  OSU golfer Morgan Hoffman and Tway find themselves in first place at -1 Under.  Here is what the team leader board looks like after most of the first 36 holes:

  1. Oklahoma State +13
  2. Texas +18
  3. Texas A&M +20
  4. (Tied) Texas Tech +21,Oklahoma +21
  5. Obsolete Team/Who Cares?
  6. Obsolete Team/Who Cares?
  7. Kansas
  8. Baylor
  9. Missouri
  10. Kansas State
  11. Iowa State

If State can continue to shoot productively tomorrow when the weather will be better than today's drizzly conditions, they should have no problem winning their fifth-straight Big12 crown on Wednesday.  Surviving today will probably be the hardest part of the tournament as playing 36 holes in one day is a grueling task even in pleasant conditions, unless of course you play a beer-a-hole like Yachoff does.  Then your only problem in life is convincing the clubhouse to sell you an entire case of beer, plus a six pack. 

Tune in Wednesday for more Big12 tournament coverage.  You can also see a live, updated scoreboard here.

Oklahoma State, world leader in soft zone defense and PBR tallboy consumption

We finished the day +15 Over

with Texas at +18, and Oklahoma heating up at +19 with Ryan Sirman in third place. Need Uihlein and Einhaus to get back to par.

Pokes are pulling away

back to +12, with Texas and A&M tied for 2nd at +19.

and btw

a beer a hole for 36 holes should be viewed as every bit the accomplishment that running a marathon is.

Word.

All the Cowboy golfers are having a pretty good day with no one over +1 for the round. Contrast that with ISU, who I think really IS playing beer a hole golf, where no one is above 35th place.

CRFF Golf Outing?

Scores and highlights documented and then published for our loyal readers to gaze upon?

Well, Yachoff would hate to embarass anyone,

But I’m down. I’m sure with all the money Sam is raking in from the "Pete Was Here" panty sales can get us on at Karsten, right?

Pokes down to +9

Just killing it. They are really good at golfing it (golf term) today!

by samuelbryant on Apr 26, 2011 12:17 PM CDT reply actions  

Yawn.

Just another day at the office.

by Royal John on Apr 26, 2011 1:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

Down to +6,

with aTm in second at +19. Kicking ass, Takin’ names.

by Yachoffsmirnoff on Apr 26, 2011 1:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

+5 now, -10 for the day.

unreal that the 4th and 5th flight dudes are killing it. They are a combined -8 now.

How is Iowa State doing?

And by that I mean: Are they still playing or did they say “fuck it” and drunkenly stumble to the nearest bar?

by Royal John on Apr 26, 2011 3:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

dead last, took a piss on the 18th green

dragged themselves back to the first tee on accident, took a beer dump in the trashcan, puked in the sand trap, pinched the cart girl’s ass (yeah, they have a beer bitch at the Big 12 Championships), lit up a cig, then hit the road back to Aimes.

still impressive that...

they completed the tournament using nothing but putters…

by TowerPower on Apr 26, 2011 6:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

I never understood why they brought 14 putters,

1 would seem to be as good as the next

Iowa State actually didn't have the worst day today.

That honor goes to KSU and NU who both were about five shots shittier, KSU now shares last place with ISU at +60. OSU will win tomorrow if they show up at all, with a 12 shot lead on aTm.

by Yachoffsmirnoff on Apr 26, 2011 7:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

I say for this final round...

the OSU players should only use their 7 irons the entire way…Tin Cup style.

by Royal John on Apr 27, 2011 8:58 AM CDT reply actions  

Why not go with the rake & shovel

ala Tin Cup when the sticks are in hock?

For what it's worth...
