Alabama Athlete Performance You Should Know About: The UA Men’s Golf Team
Each week I will do my best to pinpoint a particular performance and the University of Alabama athlete who accomplished that feat. This week I highlight the entire UA Men's Golf Team!
The guys have brought home yet another National Championship to Tuscaloosa and we couldn't be prouder of them. We've never featured a whole team before this is cause for special consideration!
The program's first National Championship came with a 4-1 victory over Illinois on Sunday in the finals of the 2013 NCAA Golf Championship at the Capital City Club's Crabapple Course.
According to RollTide.com, "The Crimson Tide victory was redemption after a heartbreaking loss to Texas in the NCAA Finals a year ago. The clinching holes on Sunday were almost simultaneous on the 15th and 16th. Junior Cory Whitsett halved the par-3 15th hole for a 4 and 3 victory and only seconds later senior Scott Strohmeyer won the difficult par-4 16th hole with par for a 3 and 2 win."
The National Championship is the first in a men's sport outside of football in Alabama history!
