Piller wanted to bet on the Big 12 conference golf tournament. Piller went to college at Texas A&M, and Uresti at Texas. The player whose team finished worse had to use the rival school's driver headcover in tournament competition.
Uresti had all the confidence in making the bet.
"Texas being No. 1, I didn't think it would be a big deal," Uresti said.
Sure enough, A&M won the tournament, by three strokes over Texas. So Uresti is using a Texas A&M headcover this week at the BMW Charity Pro-Am, in sharp contrast to his golf bag that prominently represents the Longhorns.
"It hurts," Uresti said. "But it's just for the week. I'm pushing the Longhorns all the way."
So next event, Uresti can go back to fully demonstrating his Longhorns pride, just as he always has.
And he scored a little bit of redemption on the course, as well. Uresti finished 4-under after three rounds and made the cut on the number, and Piller missed the cut by a stroke despite two eagles today at Chanticleer.
And of course, the college football season is still a few months away.
