Never underestimate the power of love luck on a golf course.

After being all square through 18, Gillman wins on first extra hole.

It'll be two Bama players for the US Amateur title. Damn...going to be one hell of a team next season.

I edited the title and used the word abused. That's over the top for these last few rounds. Hyperbole, squared. Several of these matches went to sudden death in match play. Some remarkable play by all three.

Here's a thought. When we're reading about the ladies in next years reports how many times will we see "US Amateur Champ" and "Runner up" in the media?

The fourth from Arkansas is ironic to SEC golf. The third being from Bama is (ah shit...here it goes) backing up "Where Legends..." tag lines.
