Ohio State Men's Golf (Official Thread)

ARMOUR EARNS TOUR CARD. Former Ohio State men's golfer Ryan Armour has played a lot of rounds over 46 years. He's spent the last 23 as a professional, making 475 starts on the PGA and Korn Ferry Tours and winning two tournaments along the way.

With his age, experience and career prize money – which currently sits at more than $7.5 million – Armour could have settled for Past Champion status on the PGA Tour, which would have given him the opportunity to still compete in some Tour events. However, the Akron, Ohio native kept fighting to retain his status as a full PGA Tour member.

Armour carded a 65 in the final round of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship on Sunday to finish tied for 21st place at 5-under par. That clutch performance secured his full status on the PGA Tour for another year.



When asked why he continues putting forth an effort to play at the highest level of professional golf, Armour said the competitor in him won't let him take the easy way out.

"I love to compete," Armour told Kevin Prise of PGATOUR.com. "That's what drives me. It doesn't drive me for money. I love to come out and compete against myself and compete against other players and compete against the course. That's what gets me up in the morning. Go for a run, or do whatever I have to do to be young enough to stay out here. I'm not getting any younger, but I am trying to go out and beat the clock."

What a great adventure for these young men. Do yourselves and tOSU proud in the Arizona sun! Hit 'em long, straight, and not too often. Go Bucks! PS, should be a good crowd given the alumni base in the Phoenix area.

Anyone know how tOSU mens golf team is doing in the playoff? Against Texas Tech (the goatropers) for the final place in NCAAs? It's early yet, so if anyone has the channel, etc let me know please. Go Bucks - hit 'em long, straight, and not too often. One kid is #2 at 5 under! Wow. Next five have room to improve....

I just tuned in. College Central is the pregame so to speak. Very cool seeing Buckeyes on here

Edit: Looks like no chance to win it. 10 strokes back in the individual and a not further for the team. Doesn't look like well make the chit at current 15th place

Thanks Script. Didn't think to look at TT website....sounded like an interesting way to handle a playoff. Pretty cool to divvy up the playoff between several players. Certainly an uphill climb, and looking at the final scoring by tOSU team, looks like we could use some help at the lower rankings. Maybe bring back Jim Brown as an advisor? Have saved the Natalie Gulbis/ Jimmy Hanline show featuring the Scarlet. Haven't played the S&G courses in 25 years. Always a pleasure to watch. Having a Tito's at the VC was a hoot. Whetstone '67 always has a Friday night there when have a reunion. Memories.

Moldovan’s place in the field was well-deserved, as he couldn’t have come closer to earning a berth during final qualifying last week. After tying for fourth place in 36 holes of play at Springfield (Ohio) Country Club last Monday, Moldovan advanced to a three-way playoff for the final two qualifying spots out of Springfield and played eight playoff holes before he was beaten out for the final berth by former Iowa golfer Alex Schaake.

That left Moldovan as the third alternate for this week’s tournament, ultimately resulting in him receiving the final spot in the 156-man field when it was filled out on Sunday night.

Moldovan, who missed the cut in his first U.S. Open last year, is coming off an excellent junior year for the Buckeyes. He finished in the top 10 in 10 of 13 events played, including one win and seven top-fives, and broke his own single-season scoring record with an average of 70.64 strokes per round.

He will be one of two Ohio State products in the field for this week’s major, joining former Ohio State golfer Ryan Armour, who earned the final qualifying spot in Toronto last Monday to make his first-ever U.S. Open.

Everyone talks about football players passing the 'look' test. Golfers on the other hand, come in all sizes and shapes, but all have beautiful swings. (don't really mean that, but however one gets the ball into the hole....) and golfers can shoot a 64 one day, and an 84 the next. I'll just watch these guys and remain envious.....Used to go watch John Cook whenever he came west. Go Bucks!
