As most coaches would, Colorado's Roy Edwards dived deep in reassessing his men's golf program after a string of disappointing years.
After the Buffaloes failed to qualify for NCAA regionals in 2010, 2011 and 2012, Edwards grabbed a CU men's golf media guide. He studied rosters, schedules and statistics to determine what had made the best Buffs teams successful.
The result of that research is reflected by the makeup of this year's Colorado team, which begins play Thursday at the NCAA regional in Noblesville, Ind. CU's five-man lineup is composed of three foreign players and two Coloradans.
