"Rebirth at Riv: 2012 NCAAs, an oral history"
/
As the NCAA men’s championship has been cut to 15 teams and decides the individual title Monday, carve out a few minutes for Brentley Romine’s oral history of the 2012 matches at Riviera.
With the rise of several players who participated and the success of the team match format, Romine has done a fantastic job documenting the epic Texas-Alabama finale. This one happened before Golf Channel started doing full coverage but Romine has enough recollections, images and even YouTube clips to capture what was a match play classic. The premature celebration by Alabama coach Jay Seawell has not, well, aged particularly well.
It’s a three parter and you’ll see my name pop up in there Part 3 but only because UT’s coaches left no stone unturned. But I don’t ever want to hear crap from a Longhorn again.
