Bethpage Black is in the Sweet 16.
The NCAA Tournament references live on thanks to Golf Digest's Fans' Choice field-of-64 competition in which the country's top public courses are pitted against one another and advanced by reader vote. Last week, the famed Black Course clobbered #10-seed The Harvester (Rhodes, IA) by a 134-37 vote to move on to Round 3, where it will take on the Jack Nicklaus Course at the Pronghorn Golf Club in Bend, Oregon. Voting for this match will open next Monday, July 18 and close on July 20.
Check the tournament bracket anytime at Golf Digest's Fans' Choice page — you'll need a Facebook account to cast a vote and follow the live tally. The competition is based on the mag's 100 Greatest Public Courses of 2011-12. Bethpage Black is ranked #7.
