NCAA Roundup: Patrick Rodgers Last Six Starts: 1-1-1-2-1-1
/Ryan Herrington has a nice roundup on the NCAA Men's Regionals, where most of the expected schools advanced and Stanford's Patrick Rodgers won the West Regional. Rodgers ties a school mark set by Tiger Woods for most career wins.
One of the more intriguing individual stories is that of TCU junior Julien Brun, who qualified for the finals but is opting to fulfill an obligation to next week's Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial (as an amateur).
There was also this:
Still the development out of Regionals that impresses me most came from a team that finished not first but fifth at the Columbia (Mo.) Regional. Iowa State shot 18-under 270 Saturday at The Club at Old Hawthorne to secure the final spot from the Regional into the NCAA Championship. In the process, the Cyclones will be playing in the NCAA finals for the first time since, wait for it, 1953.
Ryan Lavner sums up the studs and duds from the regionals, with notes of all kinds.

And Alex Miceli with the West Regional wrap-up where Stanford just escaped with the win which means...absolutely nothing when they reach Prairie Dunes where everyone starts from scratch.
