BYU’s golfers played worse when competing with all the other teams at the NCAA championships on Friday than they did playing solo on Thursday.
The Cougars are in last place among 30 teams after shooting a 30-over-par 318 in the “first round” of play at The Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Ark.
The only positive is that the disappointing round BYU played Thursday — a 21-over-par 309 — while playing alone doesn’t look as bad now, compared to Friday’s disaster. BYU played its “third” round on Thursday because the school does not allow activities on Sunday, for religious reasons.
