And the hardware:
A couple of notes on TCU golfers:
- Stefano Mazzoli was passed over in the initial selections made Wednesday for the Arnold Palmer Cup international team--6 auto-qualifiers and 4 committee picks were announced. Mazzoli, who made last year's team, had been on the bubble (10th in the last points list); it looks like the committee favored World Amateur Golf Ranking over the AP cup points list in its selections. There is still one additional selection to be announced in May--besides Mazzoli (101 in WAGR), international players under consideration would include Florida's John Axelson (58), UNLV's Harry Hall (83), USF's Albin Bergstrom (96) and USC's Kaito Onishi (205 but highest on the AP Cup points list). Four of the five played head to head in this week's Southern Highlands Intercollegiate; Mazzoli had the best finish, beating Axelson by 3, Onishi by 5 and Hall by 10.
Mazzoli's play will be watched carefully over the next few weeks; it should help that he played well in the event last year. The AP Cup is a significant honor for college golfers (other Frogs that have played include J.J. Henry, Adam Rubinson, & Alberto Ochoa), but a week outside of Little Rock doesn't quite compare to last year's tourney site at Evian, France.
