Can Vanderbilt men’s golf run the table in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships?Tuesday is a big day for the Commodores as they begin match play at the NCAA Championships in Carlsbad, California. Vanderbilt clinched the No. 3 seed in the match play Monday evening with a score of 12-under through four rounds of stroke play. Vanderbilt was in a three-way tie for third place with No. 2 Florida and No. 5 Oklahoma before it ultimately birdied to claim third place in stroke play.“Today was awesome, and we never take days like this for granted,” head coach Scott Limbaugh said. “I’ve been doing this a while, and to see a young group like this step up is remarkable. We didn’t have a ton of momentum early, and we need to give a lot of credit to Wells for keeping our ship afloat when things weren’t as smooth as we hoped.”Now, Vanderbilt heads into the tournament portion of the NCAA Championships. Vanderbilt takes on No. 6 seed Arizona to begin Tuesday in the quarterfinal round of match play.Here is how match play works.Both Vanderbilt and Arizona will have five players compete head-to-head with each other. Players will be divided into five head-to-head matchups against each other. The goal is for the players in each head-to-head matchup to score better, or win, more holes. For example, the player that scores better on any given hole will be “1 up” on his opponent. The player that has won more holes by the end of the round will have won the head-to-head match and scores a point for his teamThe team that ends the round with more points wins the match overall and will advance to the semifinals to take on either No. 2 seed Texas or No. 7 seed UCLA. With five head-to-head matches, the team that wins three of the five matchups or more will be declared the winner.Here are the five head-to-head matchups between Vanderbilt and Arizona and their tee times.Chase Nevins (Vanderbilt) vs. Taishi Moto (Arizona), 8:50 a.m. CTJon Ed Steed (Vanderbilt) vs. Tianyi Xiong (Arizona), 9 a.m. CTWill Hartman (Vanderbilt) vs. Filip Jakubcik (Arizona), 9:10 a.m. CTRyan Downes (Vanderbilt) vs. William Wistrand (Arizona), 9:20 a.m. CTWells Williams (Vanderbilt) vs. Zach Pollo (Arizona), 9:30 a.m. CTFollow the live blog here for live updates of the quarterfinal round of Vanderbilt men’s golf’s matchup with Arizona.Live BlogBe sure to refresh your browser for live updates from Vanderbilt vs. Arizona.
