March 5, 2008--According to Golfweek Magazine collegiate golf guru Lance Ringler, this week's "Masters of College Golf" could be the scene of a showdown of last year's NCAA Champion--USC's Jamie Lovemark--and this year's baddest player on the block, true freshman Ricky Fowler (pictured) from Oklahoma State. Both are scheduled to tee it up March 7-9 at UNLV's home track, the private Las Vegas golf course Southern Highlands for the Southern Highlands Collegiate. On paper, Fowler is ranked number one by Golfweek, while Lovemark is ranked sixth, but is considered by most to be one of the best, if not THE best, player in the college game. Ringler says that much like last year, Lovemark, a sophomore, is off to a slow start but he came on very strong and won the NCAA title, the Pac 10 title and finished second in the NCAA West Regional. He has yet to win this season, but Fowler won the Fighting Illini Invitational and leads OSU in scoring through February at 69.89. Overall, 14 of the top 30 players and seven of the top 10 teams are in Las Vegas this week. UNLV has won the event six times in the last 13 years. For more ...

And as of today, there are 13 of those Las Vegas golfers amongst the top 169 money leaders on the official PGA Tour money list but our guess is that none of them are satisfied with thier standings early in 2008. The leader among Las Vegas golfers is former UNLV Golf All-American Chad Campbell (pictured) who is at 33rd with $462,452 with new Henderson resident and Butch Harmon disciple Nick Watney (the Butch Harmon School of Golf is located at Rio Secco Golf Club) next in 66th with $259,720.
