STILLWATER, Okla. – The last time Oklahoma State and Alabama met in the final match of the NCAA Championship, in 2014, Cowboys fans piled into their sedans and trucks and charter buses and drove two-and-a-half hours on I-35 to Hutchinson, Kansas. Even Pistol Pete made the trip to pump up roughly a thousand fans around the first tee.
The OSU faithful returned home that day disappointed by the 4-1 loss, but that prideful display reaffirmed the long-held belief that no school in the country cares as deeply and as passionately about college golf as Oklahoma State.
