[QUOTE="JogginFrog, post: 3167470, member: 4994"] It's a mentally taxing sport, and I have seen lots of players be less engaged when the stakes are lowered (for whatever reason)--haven't you? I'll take correction on stating it as an assumption rather than a possibility. Could've been another reason. I don't think it was that he was far from home and needed time, given that he posted five top-20 finishes in seven events as a freshman, including at the Big 12 Championships and the NCAA regionals. Did it again straight out of the gate this spring. Then his performance tailed off. Celli likes and responds to pressure,[URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL7ogil5w1s#t=57s'] as he said after he won the European Amateur Championship[/URL]. But there wasn't as much at stake this spring, once it was obvious that the team wouldn't make the post-season. I think it's reasonable that he might not be as engaged on every shot as he would otherwise--or that he occasionally tried a carry or a recovery that he wouldn't otherwise. But I could be wrong. Was missing the NCAAs his teammates' fault? I can accept Filippo having a share of the responsibility for being a part-timer. That's a weird deal, but it seemed to pay off last year. Did you think Celli should've been in the lineup at the Big 12s? I took that as the intent of your earlier post. Apologies if I misunderstood. Coach M has taken shots for giving preference to Euros, but here was a case where a talented Euro sat out because (apparently) he didn't qualify. There wasn't anything in the previous months' results that suggested Celli ought to get a coach's pick--and he had played poorly on the course the previous fall in The Spirit International. So, it just didn't seem like a pick at the Big 12s was warranted. [/QUOTE]
