Unfortunately Shimp didn't win the playoff. It would have been awesome to sweep the individual champions for Men's and Women's this year.
Regarding substitution - yes it seems like that rule is still in effect. Basically you take 6 and play 5 on any given day, with four scores counting. Of course, if a player doesn't tee it up for all rounds, they cannot win the individual championship.
This whole substitution thing came about a few years ago when one of Texas' players got injured in the semis and they started the championship match down 1-0 in match play. It is known as "the Beau Hossler rule" by some. Originally, the substituted player had to be injured. Now it seems more lenient.
