Back to a 4-1 lead, as Shimp's opponent birdies the 11th before Shimp bogeys the 12th.
* Salinda up 2 through 12
* Shimp down 2 through 12
* Wu up 3 through 10
* Tuleubayev up 3 through 10
* Snyder up 2 through 9
Two 3-hole leads, and two 2-hole leads as we navigate this back 9.

We are looking good. It this normal, or is this a miraculous turnaround from yesterday's play by the Cardinal.

Dear woofing gods,
Please ignore this peon who knows not of what he speaks. We all learned from yesterday that a near epic collapse is always possible and we are duly chastened.
Your humble servant,

Salinda's opponent hit a ball that was going way past the green but hit a spectator and bounced back to a good lie. If it turns out that that fat man was a Vandy fan . . .

Yesterday Salinda hit a delicate bunker shot that was going to be near perfect. But it bounced off a sprinkler head and ran 10 feet past the hole.
Last week in the epic deciding match vs. Duke, Virginia Elena Carta of Duke hit a shot that was headed for a hazard before it rebounded onto the fringe off a hazard stake.
All of these funny bounces, both favorable and unfavorable, are called the rub of the green.

From the video it is hard to understand why that guy could not have got out of the way of the ball. There were no other people around to stop him from just moving away from the ball. Perhaps he was texting or something.

maybe he didn't want to get out of its way?
The 11th hole was not kind to us: we lost it in 4 matches, tied in 1.
Texas now leading 3-0-2; Wolff is doing the worst--down 4.

Salinda is 3 up with 3 to play
Wu is 5 up with 5 to play
Tuleubayev is 3 up with 6 to play
Come on, boys. Keep the pressure on.

Is is just me or is the Golf channel not showing much of Stanford's players. Even when they cut to our match, they seem to just show the Vandy players.

Salinda and Wu are on the verge of clinching.

Wu dropped one, but is still up 4 with 4 to play.

As a procedural matter, what happens to the matches that aren't finished when the overall team win is clinched? In tennis, those are just abandoned, but are they conceded in golf? Halved? Do they also count as uncompleted? It's not a big deal, of course, but there could be impacts to a particular player's ranking.
I've followed some NCAA golf on here, so I'm sure this has been an issue before, but I don't specifically recall what the answer is. I
think they play them all out, but is that right?

Salinda won his match 3 and 2.
Shimp could pull it out. He's only down 1 on 15.

The remaining matches end when the match is clinched and the players are informed of the result. I don't think they even finish the hole. The player that is ahead is awarded the point. A match that is all square means 1/2 point for each team.

Wu wins! Wonderful.

BostonCard - 05-28-2019
Salinda first off at 3&2. Wu is next at 4&3, though the scoring update isn't showing it yet.
In the remaining three matches, Tuleubayev is leading by 4 with five holes to go. We are down one in the other two matches.

Yes, it seems that way to me too.

Oklahoma State is ahead of Texas 3-2, but they are up 1 in the three they lead, and down 2 or more in the two they are trailing.

RE: NCAA Championship - men's golf -
ColoradoTree - 05-28-2019
Shimp now down 2 with 2 to go, and Snyder is down 1 through 13. Tuleubayev now up 3 with 4 to go....
Meanwhile, Oklahoma State still leads 3-2-0, going up 2 strokes in the first match, but like BC noted, the leads in the fourth and fifth matches are just one hole through 11. Texas is now 4 up through 12 and 3 up through 12 in the second and third matches.
