FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Oklahoma State sophomore Matthew Wolff sat on the Golf Channel set Monday night after winning the NCAA individual title and delivered a bold statement.

“We are trying to be the best college golf team that has ever lived,” Wolff exclaimed.

By Tuesday evening, that goal had flatlined.

The top-ranked Cowboys entered Tuesday afternoon’s semifinal tilt with fifth-seeded Texas as the undisputed favorites. Not only were they the defending national champions but they had won six times this season, including the Big 12 Championship and NCAA Louisville Regional, and cruised to the top seed by 31 shots in the stroke-play portion of the NCAA Championship.
