Provo • Although the BYU men’s golf team placed second at the Pullman Regional last week in Washington, just two shots behind first-place Texas A&M, the Cougars aren’t one of the favorites this week at the NCAA Championships in Fayetteville, Ark.
But once again, they will be one of the most talked-about teams, thanks to the school’s policy that prohibits Sunday activities, for religious reasons. For the second-straight year, the Cougars will be allowed to play Thursday, a day before everybody else begins the tournament, and will count that round as their Sunday round.
