USC Women Win Seventh-In-A-Row

We've been spoiled a bit by Cal's amazing run of tournament wins last year, but it looks like the USC women are going to reset the standards in women's college golf.

The defending national champions just won the Pac-12 Preview, an amazing 7th tournament win-in-a-row dating to the end of the 2012-13 season.

From a Golfweek.com report on USC edging rival UCLA.

The Bruins entered the tournament ranked No. 1 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings while USC was No. 2. USC has now beat UCLA in both tournaments in which they’ve gone head to head.

USC won its previous three fall tournaments with three different lineups. The Pac-12 Preview marks the first time this fall the team that won last year's NCAA Championship has come together.

“I am so proud of our team,” head coach Andrea Gaston said. “To win four events this year with four different lineups is a testament to the depth and talent of our team. As their coach, I appreciate how hard they work, and how they just keep fighting on! This is truly a special group of young ladies.”

University Of Maryland Golf Course Eyed For Development

We've been through this before with Stanford (threatened redevelopment) and Yale (neglect), so it's not a huge surprise that University of Maryland doesn't appreciate its 1959 George Cobb course so much that they're willing to plow a big chunk of what sounds like a community treasure.

For a new offramp, faculty house and an entrance to the school with a--big oy vey here--terrapin theme.

Luz Lazo of the Washington Post reports.

But the plan has riled neighbors, who say the course is a community treasure that should be preserved. For more than five decades, the 150 acres of rolling green have been a favorite of college students and area golfers attracted by twilight specials. The public course, which recently underwent a $3.5 million upgrade, also attracts neighbors who come to watch the fireworks on the Fourth of July and to listen to live bands Thursday evenings.

A website has been set up to help save the Certified Audubon Cooperative course, which is ranked 27th on Golfweek's list of best college courses.
