From the start it seemed to be a three horse race between the Wildcats, Trojans, and Bruins...but a final round charge by the Huskies upstaged that three team dual. The Huskies fired a 16 under par final round that gave them the 2 shot victory when it was all said and done.
We started the day just like we wanted, coming out hot and jumping up into the hunt after 4 holes...the middle stretch of this course is where you have to make your run...8-14 is the stretch that will be the difference come Pac-10's in three weeks..we didn't take advantage of these holes and it cost us in the end. 10 and 14 are par 5's you have to birdie and we didn't capitalize there.
The guys fought hard coming down the stretch but it just wasn't enough...and the last 3 holes are not where you can make many birdies. 16 is a typical Pete Dye par 3, 215 with agua all the way up the right side...pretty intimidating at that point in the round, not a hole you can get greedy on. 18 is another beast...475 cape hole with H20 all the way down the left. A par on these two is all you can ask for...no doubt the Pac-10 title will be decided here.
We have a lot of work to do this coming week to prepare for Stanford next week. Our putting needs to improve along with the wedges...we will get better. This is still a very young team...
Great week for Mario and Figgy...3 freshman and 2 soph's competing with the best in the country. This final 6 weeks of the season is going to be exciting.
Thanks for following...twitter is my new thing btw, check us out @ucla_bruin18. I apologize for typo's...posting this one from my rental car @6am instead of watching the range on a recruiting trip. Memo to all jr's, I am not very concerned with your golf swing...be tough, be strong, be a good putter.
Out.
