Burko and Brentley offer their full takeaways from the men's championship, including Florida State's disappointment, Michael La Sasso's individual title and a thrilling semifinal finish. Finally, Brentley looks ahead to next season and offers a few teams who will be expected to be among the nation's best.
In this episode, which includes an intro (sorry for last week!), Burko and Brentley recap one of the greatest upsets of all-time, Northwestern's 3-2 win over Stanford in the NCAA women's final. They talk Maria Jose Marin's individual win, then give Stanford and Anne Walker plenty of praise for their amazing season and sportsmanship. Northwestern's first NCAA title is heavily discussed, including the remarkable journeys of Lauryn Nguyen and her family. After that, they shift gears to the men, who start Friday. Favorites, concerns, sleepers; all are broken down. Finally, a surprising coaching decision and more disdain for the transfer portal.
Burko and Brentley break down all that was at this week's NCAA men's regionals, where LSU made the wrong kind of history, Augusta surprised again and Florida State's Luke Clanton made things interesting as it pertains to the Haskins Award race.

Burko and Brentley recap each of the six NCAA Division I women's golf regionals that concluded earlier this week. They talk about who advanced, who didn't and which teams were perhaps motivated by their pre-tournament picks. Also, there is plenty of criticism of the transfer portal, which hit one particular team hard right before regionals – and yet, said team still found a way to qualify for its first NCAA Championship.

Maybe the most comprehensive show we've done. USC's Justin Silverstein is back, as is tradition, to help Burko and Brentley preview the NCAA women's golf regionals, whose fields were recently revealed.

If you're a fan of college golf, or a coach or player competing, you'll want to listen to this.

Burko and Brentley are in Augusta on the eve of the Augusta National Women's Amateur, which begins Wednesday. They discuss whether Lottie Woad is the favorite, Mirabel Ting's historic season, an injury to a top-5 amateur (and subsequent WD), Anna Davis' round of the year and much, much more. They then do their annual snake draft, picking seven players each; Burko thinks he has a sleeper that will help him get his revenge on Brentley. Finally, we talk hoops and a huge matchup between Florida-Auburn (aka Burko-Clinard).
In this episode of College Golf Talk, Burko is back from Spring Break as he joins Brentley and guest Jake Amos, the first-year head coach for LSU. The Tigers are now up to sixth in the country following a statement win at Pauma Valley. Amos talks about smashing expectations, establishing a culture and keeping it all going for a couple more months. Burko and Brentley then dive into the latest results, including the Valspar Collegiate, where Texas prevailed and then rose to No. 1 in the country. Historic runs by Stanford and FSU's Mirable Ting on the women's side continue. Finally, Brentley gets some advice on his NCAA Tournament survivor league.

With regular host – and temporary Michigan State fan – Burko off this week, Brentley seeks out former Alabama golfer Canon Claycomb as a fill-in for the annual March Madness episode. They first get into a myriad of results, from LSU's statement win at Pauma Valley to Wake Forest's 3-0 performance at Old Barnwell in a premier women's match-play event. Luke Potter's incident with Rory McIlroy is discussed, as is PGA Tour University Accelerated – specifically why Brentley doesn't see another 20-point guy after Jackson Koivun for some time. Then Duke's Ethan Evans, fresh off a runner-up at the General Hackler, joins from the team van (apologies on the audio, but it gives us character!). He fields a few golf questions before we get into the important business. Ethan is a ball-knower, and he certainly shows off his knowledge of college hoops. Canon carries McNeese's water as a potential Cinderella. And Brentley goes chalk (unsurprisingly). If you need some help filling out your brackets, there's some decent nuggets in here (starting at the 47-minute mark). Enjoy!
