Summary

This is a slightly different Friday show, as an entire Precision Pro FBF segment turns into an episode. Golf Channel’s Brentley Romine recently researched and published an oral history on the 2012 NCAA men’s championships at Riviera, featuring a nail-biter between two juggernauts in Alabama and Texas and three-dozen players that would go pro, including headliners Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, Daniel Berger, Thomas Pieters, Max Homa, and many more. Brentley takes us through the timeline and sets up the drama for this legendary championship, much of which was not caught on video. Frugal Fritelli also plays a prominent role and stirs things up for his Texas team. The episode ends with some thoughts about the Texas program and whether it underachieves similar to the football team, and then how the NCAAs have risen in stature in recent years.

We did a, we're going to do a flashback Friday segment with Brentley Rowline of Golf Channel.

1:06.0

It's going to be a segment and then Brentley just took it away and it became an entire episode.

1:11.0

So I told Andy, don't bother, stay on the road, and we'll just kind of make this an entire, I don't know what you call it.

1:17.0

Flashlight, mini flashlight on flashback, I should say, on the 2020, 2012 NCAA championships, won by Texas over Alabama, featuring Jordan Speeth, Justin Thomas, Thomas Peters, many other.

1:34.0

I think Brentley said the over 36 guys who turned pro, and I think made it in some form or fashion in the pros, and it was held at Riviera.

1:42.0

So it's a 10-year anniversary of that. There's a minimal video. Brentley did a few months kind of compiling this oral history, which you can read at GolfChannel.com.

1:53.0

There was a little bit of a delay, so I didn't jump in a lot back and forth here because we just start talking over each other.

2:00.0

But it was really informative, kind of a good look back, thorough look back at the 2012 NCAA's, which, you know, he calls, and I think many other call the best ever on the men's side.

2:47.0

All right, for this precision pro flashback Friday, we're going to do a little different one. We're going to welcome in a friend of the program, Brentley Romine of GolfChannel. What's your title, Brentley? What are you like, senior writer, senior this Saturday out there?
