Freaking wifi glitched and I didn't know what he did until they showed the leader board. HV3 had an amazing approach on 9 to finish. Tomorrow should be an amazing day of golf.

Hoge really striking the ball well, although he started leaking right in Round 3. He hit 75% of fairways in his first two rounds but only 3 of 7 in the third. Glad he gets a chance to reset at the turn. He hasn't posted a plus round in Strokes Gained Putting and had three 3-putt pars in the second round. And still just a shot off the lead. Amazing.

I was watching hole #17 when Lowry aced it. Pretty amazing!
Hope Hoge is on fire tomorrow.

He's missed a lot of birdie putts. Should be winning by more imo

TCU women began the final round at Longbow only 3 shots off the lead. I'm guessing the Frogs came in with an aggressive game plan; they had a sizeable lead on the teams trailing them.
With a shotgun start, three Frogs hit their first or second drive of the day at the 364-yard 4th hole, a sharp dogleg left with a lake inside the elbow continuing up the left to the green. Cut the corner for an easy wedge approach. Or play safe and give up 50 yards.
The first Frog to play the 4th walked off the green with a quadruple-bogey 8. The second did, too. So did the third. A complete disaster--the attack of the desert snowmen.
Not sure I've ever seen a TCU team at +9 (after discarding a score) three holes into a round. They were +13 through 6, falling into a tie for 7th.
And then the Frogs turned it around. Four players broke par on the back 9, including Lois Lau, who finished T8, and Caitlyn Macnab, who came home in 32 for a share of 2nd. When her birdie fell on 18, the Frogs had pulled back 8 shots to finish in a tie for 4th.
A lot of fight in these girls.

One other note on Macnab. The freshman was paired yesterday with LSU's Ingrid Lindblad, the third-ranked amateur in the world and reigning European Ladies Am champ. Lindblad shot 68 to win the tournament by 5 shots. But she couldn't beat Macnab, who shot 67.

TCU men are playing 36 today in west Phoenix at the GCU Invitational. The Frogs have dropped to 62nd in the rankings but are still the highest-ranked team in the 23-team field. Frogs will expect to win; playing this event was intended to lift TCU's overall record by playing second-tier competition. Their record is sure to improve here, but they won't rise much in the rankings, even if they win.
Frogs' primary competition will be Southern Miss (75th) and host GCU (117), playing its home course. Both are paired with TCU today. Others that could contend include UT-Arlington, Fresno State and Sacramento State.
TCU starts Celli, Laussot, Frimodt, Massey and Gums.

Three-putt on 12 followed by a water ball on 13. That'll end Hoge's title challenge, but if he hangs in, there's still a big check ahead.
Edit: Have to hand it to Tom--he's not shy about taking on tough pins. Went right at the flag on both back-nine par-3s.

TCU men shoot -1 in the first round in Phoenix. That puts them in 7th place--5 back of USM and 4 back of UTA. Not a great start, but plenty of golf left.

Kept wondering when the TCU men would get out of neutral and make a run in Phoenix. I think their opponents did, too. It finally came when the Frogs closed with a bogey-free, -10 run over their last 8 holes. That rescued them from what was looking like an embarrassing 7th-place finish; they caught and passed 3 teams down the stretch. But TCU wasn't the best men's team in Phoenix this week...as GCU beat them by 9 to win the tournament. And they weren't even the best men's team from Tarrant County in Phoenix this week, as UTA topped the Frogs by 4.
Laussot and Gums managed top-10 finishes; each was well behind UTA's Kyle Cox.
Losing to 3 teams ranked outside the top 110 will hurt TCU's ranking, and a .500 record still looks out of reach (now 50-72). Unexpected for a veteran team.
Men will be playing again in the Phoenix area in a couple of weeks at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic.

TCU women are in action on Friday at the MountainView Collegiate at MountainView Golf Club outside Tucson. Frogs project as roughly the 6th-best team in the 16-team field, which includes three top-10 teams in Oklahoma State, Florida and surprising San Jose State. Will be interesting to see how OSU does after losing its top two players to the portal mid-year.
Frogs are back to the lineup of Macnab, Lau, Iqbal, Pacheco and Jordaan. It's amazing how good a consistent 74-shooter looks the week after posting multiple rounds in the 80s. Sabrina Nguyen is also playing as an individual.
It'll be 54 holes over three days; the players stay with local host families, which is a different vibe. Frogs are paired with K State and UNLV in the opening round. Follow progress here: https://m.birdiefire.com/tournament/90823/

San Jose state assistant coach is Kortney Barrett. She played for TCU as Kortney Moxoutopolis and married former frog golfer Chelso Barrett. She was an assistant at Mississippi state for a few years before taking SJFSU job. Also she has the distinction of being the first person to babysit my daughter from outside of my family. She is an awesome woman.

What a great connection! Glad to see another former Frog doing well in the coaching ranks. Is Chelso still playing competitively?

He is not. Working for pxg as a fitter last I saw.
