It came down to Sulman Raza. Again.
And Raza delivered.
Again.
One year after Raza sunk the putt that won Oregon's first NCAA men's golf national championship, Raza on Tuesday beat Vanderbilt's Matthias Schwab, the fifth-ranked amateur in the world, to win UO's match-play semifinal against the Commodores and send UO to its second consecutive NCAA final.
Standing in the way between the fifth-seeded Ducks and a second consecutive NCAA title is second-seeded Oklahoma, which defeated Illinois in its semifinal.
"It's unbelievable," UO coach Casey Martin said in a Golf Channel interview following Raza's victory.
