Review

In just his second season at LSU, head coach Greg Jones felt his team was on the verge of being a force in the Southeastern Conference, but lacked the consistency all good teams display

ntering the season,LSU had three talented seniors and a hand- ful of underclassmen.The Tigers began the season in ECharleston, S.C.,at the Cleveland Golf Kiawah Island Intercollegiate. Led by sophomore Garrett Prather, LSU finished fourth out of 15 teams.Prather shot a first-round 70 to finish seventh, his first career top-10 finish. Senior Billy Dressler added a first-round 3-under-par 69. LSU shot an 11-over 875 for the tournament. A week later LSU traveled to Knoxville, Tenn.,for the 2000 Tennessee Tournament of Champions.The tigers earned their first vic- tory in the Greg Jones era by firing a final-round 1-under 287 to win the tournament by five strokes over Virginia. Senior Alan Morgan claimed medalist honors with a 7-under 209.Morgan shot a second- round 5-under 67 to edge Augusta State’s Jamie Elson by one stroke. John Humphries and Dressler placed seventh and 11th, respectively, to lead LSU to its first tournament win since the 1999 Bridges All- American. LSU’s quest for consistency took a hit in the next tournament in Dallas, Texas.At the Red River Classic Shootout on Oct. 9-10, LSU shot a season worst 20-over par 308 in the final round to finish 14th out of 15.LSU’s lone bright spot was Morgan.He shot a first-round 67 and followed that with a 70 in the second round to finish in a tie for ninth place. No other golfer finished higher than 34th for LSU. The Tigers got back on track the next week at the Gary Koch/Cleveland Golf Intercollegiate in Tampa, Fla. LSU shot a final-round 9-under 279 to finish third and had two players finish in the top-10 individually. Senior Craig Taylor fired a 66 and a 68 in the final two rounds to finish second.Morgan matched Taylor’s final-round 68 to tie for 10th place. The 279 score in the final round was LSU’s best round of the season to that point. LSU’s previous low round was a 281 shot in the first round at the Tennessee Tournament of Champions. LSU carried the momentum from the Gary Koch into their next tournament,the eighth-annual Country Club of Louisiana Intercollegiate at the CCLA in Baton Rouge. LSU claimed its second title of the season by shooting a CCLA-record 8-under 856 to edge Tulsa by two strokes.The previous 54-hole record was an 862 shot by East Tennessee State in 1998.The Tigers rallied from a four-stroke deficit after one round to win the event for the first time since 1993. Morgan once again was a model of consistency, as he shot consecu- tive 67s in the first two rounds then fired an even-par 72 in the final round for a 10-under 206 total. It was Morgan’s second victory of the season.He also set a 36-hole record, shooting 134.Nathan Goulding, a junior college transfer from Midland making his LSU debut, shot back-to-back 69s to tie for 10th.Humphries also shot consecutive 69s to finish fourth. Morgan’s 206 was a 54-hole record. LSU began the spring season at the 2001 Gator Invitational in G a i n e s v i l l e ,F l a . The Gator proved to be one of the Ti g e r s ’t o u g h e s t tournaments of the season as they finished eighth. The tournament host and eventual national champion Gators defended their home course by winning the 2001 ev e n t .M o rgan shot a 4-under 66 in rou n d one and finished tied for 12th.

LSU struggled in the first two rounds, shooting a first-round 16-over 304, and an 11-over 299 in the second round. LSU found its stroke in the final round shooting a 1-under 287,but it was not enough to make a difference. LSU fin- ished in a 19th place tie with two other schools, missing the cut by 34 strokes.The top 10 teams from the regional advanced to the NCAA Championships at Durham,N.C. The 2000-01 season was a success for the LSU team in many ways.The Tigers won three tournament titles,their highest total since winning four in the 1988-89 season.Additionally, LSU participated in postseason play for the fifth time in six seasons.

hole, as most expected. Toms made the biggest decision of his professional career on the 18th and final hole. The 490-yard par-4 18th included a forbidding lake that separated the main fairway from the green. Toms decided to play it safe and lay up as opposed to attempting to make it to the green on his second shot.His decision paid off,as he later sank a 12-foot putt to win the title by one stroke. “Winning the PGA Championship was total satisfaction.It was a reward for all the years I put in,and all the practice,”Toms said. “I was a little shocked, but the whole weekend was just a dream come true.” Toms won the Compaq Classic in May at English Turn in New Orleans.In front of thou- sands of LSU fans dressed in purple and gold, Toms came back from a six-stroke deficit to beat,oddly enough, Mickelson.The PGA, though, was special,and was one of Toms’best chances to win one of golf’s four major cham- pionships in his career. “I never really had a chance to win one before, with doing so well.I just tried to play this tournament like it was any other one. “It is very hard to win a major or any tournament for that matter. There are so many variables to take into account,like the weath- er, time, or course conditions. You can’t just show up and say‘I’m going to win this one.’” Toms may now be a household name to many, but he has been a successful player long before he won the 2001 PGA Championship. Toms grew up in Denham Springs and lived there until the age of 12. He then moved to Bossier City where he attended Airline High School. Toms grew up an LSU fan and when it came time to choose a college he was very interested in coming to Baton Rouge. “I could really go anywhere in the country I wanted to play, because I had won both the World Junior and the PGA National Junior in high school.I came and visited LSU and liked it right away.
