Random facts, there are four true deserts in the US; Great Basin, Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan. Marines do not eat crayons. (Have you heard that meme before? I hadn't until just now looking for these "facts"). Bruce Lee attended the University of Washington! He could beat up everybody. UW brings us to PAC 12 men's golf.

This week we look at Power 5 college golf program rosters and their respective junior rankings. This is the Pac 12 men.

Arizona State and Oregon State represented the Pac 12 at the NCAA Men's National Championship last spring, with the host Sun Devils falling in the semifinals to Oklahoma. Six programs have won a team national title in golf, Arizona, Arizona State, California, Oregon. Southern Cal has won the most conference titles, with 20. 

(Begin cut/paste)
You will see below the players, their college class (which, with the Covid-19 extra year...makes this very fluid), and their hometown which I would say are self-explanatory, but perhaps I should circle back to the "Class" column. This is what the schools have listed. SR+ indicates a player who should exhaust their playing eligibility following the 2021-22 season. You could see some "SR" play next year, too...again, Covid has made this difficult to follow.

The next columns might need some more explanation. The "Jr Class" column is the player's high school graduation class year. "Rank Date" indicates (roughly) the date of each ranking used. For instance, 6/2017 is June 2017 rankings. I am showing rankings for June 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 as well as WAGR rankings from mid-November of 2021. WAGR equals World Amateur Golf Rankings. This is the ranking used by the USGA and R&A. (Note: US Junior WAGR rankings began to decline in 2020 with the Power Method changes the R&A and USGA made to their ranking). JGS is Junior Golf Scoreboard class rankings, not overall, but class. AJGA is the Rolex/AJGA class ranking. And GW are...yep, the Golfweek class rankings. Those are the 3 rankings coaches and tournaments use. (I am frequently asked my opinion on which is the best ranking system. But, in my opinion, you really have to look at all 3. They all have some positives and negatives. Although, Lance Ringler with Golfweek does make a strong case why points-based rankings are inferior...but I'm not going to go into that).

Enjoy. (End cut/paste. Yes, I meant to leave these notes)
