Current and former members of the Alabama men’s golf team are keeping their golf game in peak condition during this hot summer by qualifying and competing in tournaments across the nation.
Rising senior Hunter Hamrick recently qualified for the prestigious U.S. Amateur. Incoming freshman Justin Thomas, rising sophomore Bobby Wyatt, and rising sophomore Cory Whitsett qualified for the Western Amateur and are currently in Glenview, Illinois playing in the tournament. Thomas also finished tied for 15th in the Porter Cup at the Niagara Falls Country Club in New York this past month.
Former UA golfer Bud Cauley, who decided to turn professional following his junior year, started his pro career with solid finishes. He shot a final round 67 to finish tied for fourth place in the Nationwide Utah Classic, bagging another fourth-place finish this summer. He will tee it up this week at the Reno-Tahoe Open at the Montreux Golf and Country Club in Reno, Nev.
