The 2015 Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate is back and the No. 16 Alabama men’s golf team is looking to defend its title. The event is in Birmingham at the Old Overton Country Club, where the Crimson Tide won in 2014.
This is the tournament’s 30th year anniversary, and Alabama has won seven of the last eight tournaments. This year Alabama will play three rounds in two days.
The field will be a tough one including No. 1 Florida State. The other top-25 teams competing in the event include No. 3 Auburn and No. 23 Florida.
Alabama’s starting lineup consists of senior Tom Lovelady, junior Robby Shelton, sophomores Tyler Hitchner and Steven Setterstrom and freshman Davis Riley.
