What results like this tells me is that the lofty rankings of our players manifests itself only in a large sample size (e.g., 3-4 rounds of stroke play). For a smaller sample size (e.g., 1 round or match play), anything can happen. In the first round, Duke kept pace with us (-13 for both). Today, SMU and Wake Forest are keeping pace with us (-10 for all three). But nobody has kept pace with us across three rounds.
