NCAA men get good look at brutal finals course

BRADENTON, Fla. – The NCAA Women’s Championship looked and felt like the 2014 U.S. Open, and not just because of the penal setup.

This is the first time that the women’s and men’s championships were played on the same course in consecutive weeks.

At Pinehurst, it was the women who walked inside the ropes in the final round as Martin Kaymer waltzed to another major title.

Here at Concession, it was the men who strolled the grounds as they got a sneak peek at the championship venue.

More than anything, what they saw on television, online and in person was a brutal golf course.
