Last Wednesday’s second Big Red Scramble at Quarry Oaks Golf Course and Iron Horse Golf Club in Ashland, Neb., became a reunion of sorts, featuring an unlikely pair who celebrated like they’d just thrashed previously unbeaten Florida by 38 points in a national championship football game.

The only difference was who walked off the golf course a hero and who walked off feeling great about supporting such a hero. Twenty years after Nebraska’s dominating national championship team beat Florida, 62-24 in the Fiesta Bowl, Nick Sassaman was the man of the day and Aaron Graham was cheering him on like he was Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson rolled into one.
