Bet that was strange for those guys. Got to figure not many have played any rounds on those type grasses. Can’t imagine putting on poa annua greens. Try to kill it in these parts.

Poa Annua greens are pretty common in that part of the country, due to the climate, and can be very good. Pebble Beach's greens are Poa. Some players do not like playing on Poa Annua, but the better players on Bnetgrass are the better players on Poa, so that should not have made a difference .... or a big difference anyway.

I remember watching Chris Patton at the Masters and being so proud that he was from the Upstate and was a Tiger. We have been a golf power and producer of PGA players for years and we need to get back to those days. Hoping for better days ahead for Coach Byrd and his guys.

Horrible 2nd round torpedoed their chances

Of a strong finish, which was desperately needed. Barring a miracle run to the ACC title, this weekend most likely closed the door on making the NCAA postseason this year & will snap the 42-year postseason streak.
Having the postseason streak end & w/ 4 seniors departing, this should force the coaches and athletic department to look what needs to be done to make Clemson a force on the national level again.

They play 1-2 decent rounds in most their tourneys, then have 1 that is just God-awful. Don't know if it's talent, coaching, or what, but these guys have struggled to play good team golf for a few years now.
