This might have been what was supposed to happen all along, Texas winning the national championship.
The Longhorns were there in 2019 losing to Stanford in the finals at The Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Arkansas. One year later, a return trip to the finals, Texas beat just four teams in the 30-team field and left Scottsdale disappointed.
All signs pointed to this year leading to another run for the Longhorns. Ranked in the top five in the preseason polls, Texas had the personnel to win a championship. Three seniors – brothers Parker and Pierceson Coody and Cole Hammer – were as good as any senior class in college golf. All three were there as freshman in 2019 in that 3-2 loss to Stanford.
