SAN ANTONIO — There's not one, but if they gave out an award for fortitude at the collegiate golf level, Oklahoma's Garett Reband would be a shoo-in.
During the final round of the 11th Annual Cabo Collegiate, Reband held a two-stroke lead, needing only to close out on the back nine to earn an automatic PGA Tour exemption into April's Valero Texas Open.
While he played well, Reband burned the edges on a few putts and saw Texas A&M's Sam Bennett pass him with a birdie on the 17th hole. Knowing he needed to make up a stroke, Reband put everything into his drive on the par-5 18th at TPC San Antonio's Oaks Course, and pulled his ball left into an unplayable lie.
