NCAA women's Championship: The course is winning

BRADENTON, Fla. – The numbers are jarring.

The 54-hole cut at this women’s NCAA Championship will fall somewhere around 65 over par.

No player is in red numbers.

The scoring average for the 24-team field is 78.47.

There has been one round in the 60s – and seven in the 90s.

No wonder this place is nicknamed Concussion.

It’s no surprise that players and coaches have voiced their displeasure about the penal setup. It’s the volume of the complaints that has raised a few eyebrows.

So what happened? How did this championship spiral out of control?
