Recap

SMU's Bryson Dechambeau had to sit through a rain delay that lasted over an hour and had to withstand the furious push from Cheng-Tsung Pan, who shot a scintillating five-under for the day. But when the dust settled, Dechambeau won the individual national championship, finishing at eight under after notching a one-under 71 on the evening.

SMU Athletics tweeted Dechambeau's achievement after the event:

An emotional Dechambeau talked about his victory after clinching the title. 

"I've worked so hard for this moment, and I can't even imagine what just happened right now," he said on the Golf Channel broadcast. "It's been a long time coming, and I'm so honored to have won this title."

He also won with class, per the Golf Channel on Twitter:

It was a bit of a surprise title for Dechambeau, who had only two previous NCAA wins coming into the tournament (though he did come into the tournament hot, with four straight top-five finishes). But he was as steady as they come over his four rounds, finishing under par in each one. 

He also proved to be a memorable character during the event. He had the country buzzing given his unique set of clubs, which all measure at the same length, and also played a shot out of the water with nothing but his pants on earlier in the tournament. 

But while Dechambeau was the story, there was also the matter of finalizing which eight teams would qualify for the match-play quarterfinals. In the end, Illinois led the field, while UCLA played well enough to slip past a struggling Georgia Tech team to advance to the next round. 

It appears Illinois and Texas are the two teams to watch. Both are incredibly deep, and while Illinois was consistent through all four rounds, Texas was absolutely on fire in the past two, shooting a whopping 12-under over the last two rounds combined. 

It's hard to imagine any of the eight quarterfinalists has more confidence at the moment than the Longhorns, though Illinois' depth and performance during this tournament to this point make them another team to watch. 

Neither squad has an easy match-play opponent, of course, as Illinois will take on UCLA, and Texas will face USC. The other two matchups will pit Vanderbilt against LSU and Georgia against South Florida.
