After his team took down a stout field Wednesday at The Prestige, Vanderbilt head coach Scott Limbaugh wanted his players to enjoy the victory before they headed straight to their next tournament, in Cabo, the following morning. They ordered pizza, listened to music, just hung out – oh, and cleaned what felt like pounds of sand from their belongings.
“I’m talking sand everywhere,” Limbaugh said.
Before the Commodores closed in a sparkling 14-under 270 to beat Oregon by 10 shots at PGA West’s Norman Course, they survived what were arguably biblical conditions during their second round. While the day started off normal with morning tee times off the back, by the time Vanderbilt reached the fourth hole, they could barely see or stand.
