"During his victory at the 1996 NCAA Division I Men’s Individual Championships, Woods used an Odyssey Dual Force 660 putter."
Made me wonder just how many men's golfers have won the NCAA Individual, which goes back to 1897:
Cameron Wilson, 2014
Tiger Woods, 1996
Frank Tatum, 1942
I expected to see Tom Watson's name, but the individual winners from 1969-71 were Bob Clark (Cal State-LA), John Mahaffey (Houston), and Ben Crenshaw (Texas).
Also, Stanford did not win any team championships during the Woods or Watson eras.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
