PGA tour event Sanderson Farms has currently the third round going on, and NT alums Carlos Ortiz and Sebastian Munoz ended up in the same group and are tearing it up. Munoz and Ortiz are sharing the lead! Could be a great sunday.

Ok round three is over, and North Texas will definitely be a topic tomorrow on the golf channel, seeing as Munoz and ortiz will be the last pairing on the course, as Munoz is leading Ortiz by a shot, and Ortiz is second by himself after round three. Could really become the first PGA win by an NT alum since I paid attention.

Ortiz finishes tied for 4th, which is great.

Munoz, faced with a must make birdie to get into the playoff on 18th, made It! Going to a playoff. No clue when is the last time an NT alum won a PGA tour event.

And Munoz wins it!

Now leads the Fed-ex cup, card for next year already in the bag, qualified for the players championship and probably a whole number of fancy tournaments. And with him having played both yesterday and toay with Ortiz NT is likely to get a whole lot of coverage.

The announcers mentioned a number of times that he and Ortiz were teammates at North Texas.  You could tell Ortiz was excited for Sebastian.  The win gains him exemption for next year, entry in the Tour Championship, the Masters and the PGA Championship plus the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii in a couple of weeks.  He played 18 great to gain the tie and then overcame a bad second shot with a great third shot and clutch putt to win it all.  Congrats Sebastian!

Munoz news conference. The really interesting part starts about 12 minutes in. Think it really teaches something about how important it is to get to see other people succeed. i hope the guys on the roster now take notice. Also current coaches would be stupid not to bring it up when hitting the recruiting trail.

Guess who leads the Fed-Ex Cup standings.  Are we the only university with two in the Top 15?

https://www.pgatour.com/stats/stat.02671.html

 

Munoz wins $1,188,000 (I am old enough to remember when the Tour celebrated players for passing $1 million in career earnings!)

Ortiz wins $297,000 with a T-4.

With these earning, maybe I should have gone and tried being a golfer. Sure pays more than being a scientist. Congrats to them!

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.

      So a lot of you think that NT is not deserving of your valuable fandom. I actually was proud of the team that continue to battle with a completely revamped lineup including a completely untested QB. Yeah and spare me the low expectations accusations that are usually leveled at anyone that dares to not rave and rant about a loss.
