1996-97 was very sweet.

And tell me, was that the year that men's golf should have beaten Oklahoma State for the championship (and would have, if an unnamed player had made a very short putt on 18 in regulation)?  Or was that in a prior year?

Teejers, are you perhaps conflating two separate years in which the golfers finished 2nd?

In 1995 Stanford tied Oklahoma State after 72 holes but then lost in a playoff.  That team included Notah Begay, Casey Martin and Tiger Woods.
In 2008 Stanford lost by 1 shot to UCLA.  I believe that Rob Grube missed a short putt on the 72nd hole.
