Dick Harmon: BYU's NCAA 'Sunday' accommodation — weather ends up being a nightmare

BYU

PROVO — For most of Saturday’ second round at the NCAA golf championships in Oklahoma, BYU senior Patrick Fishburn led the field at seven-under par until he double-bogeyed No. 17. Fishburn finished 36 holes tied for second place heading into Sunday’s round at five-under.

In the real world, that shouldn’t stop Fishburn from advancing an extra day to qualify for the match play portion of the NCAAs hosted by Oklahoma State at the Karsten Creek Course in Stillwater.

Except a pre-posted Sunday round will likely kill him.

Last Thursday, Fishburn had a 78. His teammates also blew up with a 24-over par team disaster.
