College golf blog: On the road to the 2022 NCAA Championship at Grayhawk


The road all college golf teams hope to travel down this spring ends at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, site of the NCAA Women’s Championship (May 20-25) and NCAA Men’s Championship (May 27-June 1).

Arizona State men’s golf rallied with eight consecutive wins to clinch a 15-9 victory over Arizona in the second annual Copper Cup on Monday at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club.

Arizona came into the second day leading 7-5 following Sunday’s first day of action. Even with a two-point deficit, ASU coach Matt Thurmond wasn’t impressed with how the first day ended.

“We felt like all those key moments last night when the match was coming down, we struggled in those moments. Like, what’s going on?” Thurmond said.

“We were pretty upset last night how it ended and I woke up in the middle of the night and I was like, I said a couple of things that were a little too hard and a little too aggressive. They’re doing their best and I kind of hit them pretty hard. I was worried, but they responded well and they played really great from the start,” Thurmond added.

The two-day, Ryder Cup-style event launched a spring season that will conclude with NCAA Championships (men and women) at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale.

Texas twin seniors Pierceson Coody and Parker Coody are expected to miss some time this spring after each suffered radial-head fractures above the right elbow last month in a freak accident while running a post-workout relay race.

“All we cared about was winning the race, and we took it a little too far,” Pierceson told GolfChannel.com last week. “It was just a freak accident.”

The timetable for a return is 8-12 weeks, meaning the brothers will miss at least one event.
