Give Austin Tamagno credit for his previous body of work? Yes. Put him ahead of Phillip Rocha after the defending state champ had a big opener at Stanford? Nope.
The rankings below are subjective - they are not generated from the database, but instead represent the opinion of the author. Factors such as course difficulty, weather conditions, head-to-head competition, and more were considered. In particular, spot 5 through 12 were very difficult to sort out, and could be considered more or less interchangeable.
