  1. Congrats @BamaWomensGolf's Mic Potter for his 1st NCAA title. Wouldn't surprise at all if @jcwellbamagolf gets his next Sunday. #doubledip?
  2. Augusta State showed us that you can't predict what happens at NCAAs. I try anyway. My column: bit.ly/LgoR8B
  3. So this is what they mean by "U.S. Open rough." Check out this incredible photo from Hogan at the '55 Open at Olympic: twitter.com/GolfweekLavner…
  4. Of the 3 @BenHoganAward finalists, it'll be interesting to see who has the best pro career. Got a feeling it'll be @PRodgersGolf.
  5. Regardless of who wins @BenHoganAward, it'll be historic. Rodgers and Spieth (frosh) and Cantlay (soph) comprise youngest class ever.
  6. Here's my take on why Alabama's @JustinThomas34, in a year of exceptional talents, has been the best: bit.ly/Ksz4gL
  7. Could make the argument @JustinThomas34's frosh season actually is more impressive than Cantlay's was. Won both conference & regional title.
  8. Cantlay's freshman season (before NCAAs): 4 wins, 8 top 10s, 9 top 20s. @JustinThomas34's freshman season: 4 wins, 8 top 10s, 9 top 20s
  9. Fact: Last year's top-2 ranked teams (Oklahoma State and Georgia Tech) and the defending NCAA champ (Augusta State) won't be at Riviera.
  10. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better college town than this ... #athens instagr.am/p/K1AOmjB7li/
  11. Alabama freshman @JustinThomas34 wins indy title in Athens. That's his fourth win of the year. Also won Jones Cup. He's Player of the Year.
  12. Final standings at Athens regional: Bama, East Carolina, North Florida, Iowa & Georgia advance. No. 3 seed New Mexico and Augusta St done.
  13. Rules committee at Southeast Regional was "embarrassed" by number of low scores Thursday. Payback today––none of top 12 teams has broken par
  14. Back at my old stomping grounds, in Athens, Ga. instagr.am/p/KvtYIfB7kq/
  15. At NCAA Southeast Regional in Athens. A sportswriter's dream: Two-tee start, and 9 and 18 is a double green #easyaccess twitter.com/GolfweekLavner…
  16. At one of the most glorious places in the country ... instagr.am/p/KsWlu2h7gl/
