@ASUMensGolf 1996 NCAA Champions Displayed Unique Blend Of Personality, Teamwork

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Fiery teammatesScott Johnson and Chris Hanell were playing a practice round before the 1996 NCAA men's golf tournament at the Honors Course in Ooltewah, Tennessee. They nearly came to blows.

"Hanell was being Hanell and decided to go up on the green while I hit my second shot," Johnson recalled, laughing. "So I hit a second shot that I think landed about 10 feet from him and that's when the explosion came."

While others watched the shouting match in wonder, one bystander asked Sun Devils coach Randy Lein why he didn't step in and stop it.
