Winner! David Ravetto posts a 2-stroke victory in South Africa. Sam Hutsby had closed to within a shot with two holes to play, but doubled the 17th to restore Ravetto's cushion.
Not the biggest tournament, but an impressive list of past winners: Price, Oosthuizen, Immelman, Goosen, Clarke, Lawrie. Congrats to David.

Winner's interview follows. David was an under-the-radar guy at TCU, having transferred in and often playing behind Mazzoli and Springer. But he won the NAIA individual title as a freshman at TWU, posted 10 top-20 finishes in two TCU seasons, won an event with a school-record -18 score, and played well in the post-season. Consistent play with ability to flash and a tendency to play well when the stakes are high is a good recipe for professional success.

Tom Hoge finishes solo 8th in L.A.; he banks $646,000 for the week's work.

TCU men and women are both in action today--the men in Vegas, the women in Humble.
Yesterday saw Gustav Frimodt doing Gustav Frimodt things (-3, T7) at the Southern Highlands Collegiate. The supporting cast is T49 and below individually, next-to-last as a team in a strong field. Measuring stick event to see how close the Frogs can stay to elite teams.
Chris Berzina gets his second start of the year; his college career continues to be a head-scratcher. He has yet to crack 75 in four rounds this season.

The women are off to a slow start at the Golf Club of Houston, but it's early. Sophie Anand gets her first start as a Frog. Kirstin Angosta is looking like a gamer, she is T7 at -2 through 5 holes. Winner of the event earns a start in the LPGA's Chevron Championship.

Angosta finished T6 in Humble, missing out on the LPGA berth by 3 shots.
Frimodt had a tough final round but finished T18.
Neither the men or women had a finish to write home about.

David Ravetto won on the Euro minor-league circuit a few weeks back. Now he's taking a swing on the main Euro (DP World) Tour, T6 through 3 rounds in the SDC Championship in South Africa. It's a small event, purse-wise ($1.5M), but that's almost 5 times what he was playing for a few weeks ago.
Anyway, he's 3 off the lead, and you can watch his progress early tomorrow morning at https://www.europeantour.com/dpworld-tour/sdc-championship-2024/leaderboard.

Ravetto finishes solo 3rd in South Africa, 2 back of the winner. He takes home about $95,000, which I think is his biggest payday as a pro, and moves up 89 spots into the top 50 of the Euro Tour rankings. Strong week to establish himself as a top-flight pro.

TCU women have made the turn in round 1 of The Show at Spanish Trails CC in Las Vegas. Frogs are currently 4th in a 13-team field.
Kirstin Angosta is playing #1 for TCU in her third event. Quick rise for the freshman; may be due to her playing in her hometown.

Lois Lau is T3 through two rounds in Las Vegas. She was cruising along at 1-over through 27 holes then caught fire, playing her final 9 holes in 30 shots (-5). She's 2 back of the individual lead.
As a team, the Frogs are 5th out of 13 teams, 11 shots off the lead.
Lois is ranked 173rd among women amateurs. She'd make a pretty salty 4th player on a team with the players currently ranked 18th, 75th & 124th (former TCU women's players competing for other schools).

Lois Lau finishes T2 in Vegas, which I believe is her 10th top-10 finish as a Frog. She also sets the TCU career record for birdies. Says a lot about what a consistent contributor she has been. Would be nice if she could get a tournament win to close out her college career.

Hayden Springer finished T3 this past weekend at the PGA Tour's alternate-field Puerto Rico Open, one shot out of a playoff, and earned $212,000. The result moves him up 46 spots to 93rd in the FedEx Cup standings. There are four alternate-field events this year, and they are key for rookies looking to keep their card by finishing in the top 125.

TCU men are on the course for 36 holes today in Lafayette, Louisiana. This is an event where the Frogs could contend, though they are way back of A&M in the early going. Getting the start are Frimodt, Petruzelli, Dial, Berzina and Wilt. Frimodt is currently T3.

Gustav Frimodt is in solo 3rd after 36 holes in Louisiana, posting 69-68 (-7) -- he's 4 shots back of the leader. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Chris Berzina had yet to break 75 all year--he posted a pair of 72s and is T23.
But having 2 guys south of 70th in an 87-player field means a not-great team score. TCU is T9 in a 15-team field. Among the teams they are chasing include Texas State, Louisiana Tech, Sam Houston, and the Wake Forest B team. Room to move up tomorrow...

Gustav Frimodt finishes solo 3rd in Louisiana. Frogs post their worst score of the week and finish 10th, beating none of the teams mentioned above.

Max Giboudot is seeing the world as he chases his golf dream. Today he made the cut in the Delhi Challenge, and he'll continue on to Kolkata next week. He's now made 3 cuts in 5 starts on the Euro Challenge Tour, with his best finish T34 in the South Africa event that David Ravetto won. He's banked about six grand so far, which probably doesn't cover his travel costs, but defrays the losses of whoever is backing him.

TCU women played in Tucson yesterday. Caitlyn Macnab finished 3rd in this event the previous two years. Without a desert specialist, the Frogs are 10th in a 15-team field. Sofia Barroso Sa is T15. They'll go around again today and tomorrow. Scoring here.

Four TCU starters each close with two birdies down the stretch, turning a +3 round into -5. The third-best round of the day lifts the Frog women from 11th to 9th place. Barroso Sa (69) finishes T8; Lau (69) T17.
In Delhi, Max Giboudot shoots 66 to finish T22.

TCU men are playing in San Diego; through round 1, they are T13 in a 15-team field, despite Gustav Frimodt's 16th round of par or better this season (out of 19).
Scoring: https://results.golfstat.com/public/leaderboards/gsnav.cfm?pg=team&tid=28877
Update: TCU moved up a spot in the second round, playing their last 6 holes in -5. Frimodt is T18 as is freshman Pietro Fenoglio, who is competing as an individual. Good to see him getting into the mix.
Update 2: Frogs fall down the board and finish last as a team. No top-20 finishers. One player was DQ'd in round 2 and another in round 3. Weird.

While it's been a challenging year for golf at TCU (men are ranked 85th, women 66th), I'm not sure if TCU has ever had 5 players among the top 300 pros (OWGR). That's the current situation:
55 - Hoge
234 - Barjon
269 - Brun
271 - Springer
294 - Ravetto
Might not be long before Celli joins them. Some solid golf being played by former Frogs.
