For information about the Crimson Tide men’s golf program select that area from the main menu. Information on the web includes statistics, results, biographies and other historical information.

TELEVISIONThe University of Alabama, through the Crimson Tide Sports Network (CTSN), offers a weekly 15-minute satel-lite feed consisting of interviews with coaches and athletes, taped video highlights and narrated tape package from September through May. Occasionally the men’s golf team will be featured in this package. Please call the media relations offi ce for more details. During the season, the golf team’s progress will be covered each week on “The Crimson Tide This Week,” a 30-minute regional sports show.

INTERVIEWSHead coach Jay Seawell is available for interviews and can be reached through the Alabama Media Relatoins Offi ce, due to the extensive time the golf coaching staff spends outside on the course. Team practice sessions rotate times and locations daily depending on upcoming events and areas of practice emphasis. Because of this, we require you to make golf interview requests at least 24 hours in advance. All golf interviews must be arranged through Josh Maxson in the Media Relations offi ce at 205-348-7496.

FACILITIESAs part of the Crimson Tradition Fund facility upgrades, Alabama’s home golf course — Ol’ Colony — has some brand new additions that only serve to turn the course into the Tide’s real home. Construction took place in 2004 on the Jerry Pate Golf Center, UA’s private practice facility and club house that includes coaches’ offi ces, a fully furnished locker room and a team room. Ol’ Colony, a course designed by former UA men’s golf standout Jerry Pate, serves as the team’s home course. In addition to its “home” course, the Alabama women’s golf team benefi ts from the opportunity of being able to access several golf courses in the Tuscaloosa area for practice, including NorthRiver Yacht Club and Indian Hills Country Club.

The Alabama men’s golf team has established itself at the highest levels of collegiate golf, but one thing is still missing, and it is the driving force behind a program that is striving to be the best – a national championship.

The Crimson Tide has won numerous tournaments under the direction of 10th year head coach Jay Seawell. UA captured a SEC Championship in 2008 and a NCAA Regional Championship in 2009. Alabama has seen numerous elite players capture medalist honors at some of the most prestigious tournaments in the nation and then move on the PGA Tour.

The 2011-12 season presents a special challenge for the Crimson Tide – fi nd a way to fi nish at the NCAA Championships. Senior captain Hunter Hamrick leads and talented and hungry team in pursuit of that goal.

“For this program to take that next step, we have to perform better at the national championships,” Seawell said. “We were third in the nation, one of the top-three teams last year and won fi ve times. Last year we were a little young, and I don’t want to use any excuses, but I think that’s how you learn: you get close to it and you dream and think about a national championship and when that reality doesn’t happen it changes you.

“Now you see what you want, so it becomes “how do I get there?” I think we need to keep doing the same things; we just need to learn from our experiences. We got a little ahead of ourselves and got a little result oriented in one round, which was the last round in the NCAAs. I like our team this year and Rivera Country Club in Los Angeles is about as great a venue as you are going to get. I think were good enough to do it, and we’ll learn from it and move forward.”

That challenge will be a little harder without three-time All-American Bud Cauley, who turned pro after his junior season and had immediate success on the PGA Tour. However many of the lessons that Alabama learned during Cauley’s time should pay dividends in his absence.

“I think we’re very optimistic and excited for the season,” Seawell said. “You don’t replace Bud Cauley and we know that. Bud has done a great job this summer, winning almost $400,000, and that isn’t bad for anybody. It was his time and he will be missed. But we feel like we have the talent in place, and I think the lessons we learned as a team last year – really just that last round of the NCAAs – will be something that will push and drive this team to be another driving force in college golf.”

The Crimson Tide went into the third round of the 2011 NCAA Championships in prime position to qualify for match play and a shot at the national championship. But everything seemed to go wrong for the Crimson Tide and that dream disappeared with a round of 316 and a 14th place fi nish.

The one bright spot for the Tide as they left the NCAAs was the play of Hamrick, who battled mononucleosis through all three rounds of the NCAA Championships last year. He would check out of the hospital after receiving rounds of IV fl uids and go straight to the course. He led Alabama individually with a 5-over-par total of 221 and rounds of 71, 74 and 76 to fi nish 29th.

Hamrick’s toughness and determination is what Seawell wants his Crimson Tide pro-gram to be about. His teammates took notice and for the fi rst time in several years the Tide selected a team captain.

“We named him captain this year,” Seawell said. “It’s been a while since we had a true captain where we named him. That’s a unanimous thing that the guys wanted. It is how he’s handled himself all three years but really the week of the NCAA Champion-ships sealed that. I think the guys would walk through fi re for him. I think he’s got the respect of the players in the things that he did, and how he’s dedicated himself to Alabama golf and the University in his three years. I’d have nobody else lead us. I look forward to watching him lead this team and I think that’s what makes a team special: when they’re lead from within, not from the outside.”

Behind Hamrick is a pair of sophomores that did their best to erase every Alabama freshman record on the books. Whitsett was named a second-team All-American by

Golfweek and PING after breaking Cauley’s freshman record with a 71.39 stroke average over 33 rounds of golf. He won the Linger Longer Invitational with a career-low 13-under-par 203 and was a fi rst-team All-SEC selection and the conference’s Freshman of the Year.

Wyatt, who got off to a scorching start as a true freshman, was a second-team All-SEC choice and named to the All-Freshman team, but a mid-spring shoulder injury slowed his progress as the postseason rolled around. He posted a 72.33 scoring aver-age in his freshman season with three top-fi ve fi nishes, including a second at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate.

“Bobby (Wyatt) and Cory (Whitsett) are great players,” Seawell said. “Cory was a second-team All-American and Bobby was All-SEC and would have been an All-American as well if he had not hurt his shoulder. I think the foundations of recruit-ing, if you’re going to be any good, is getting great players and great people. Hunter is our leader but behind him are more great players and great people who are hungry and want to bring multiple championships to the University. Bobby and Cory are those kinds of guys that are leaders on and off the course as well. They are dedicated and working their tails off to bring great things from college golf to the University of Alabama.”

Alabama is also blessed with three veterans that have been in the trenches with the Tide at various times over the past two seasons. Lee Knox, Trey Mullinax and Scott Strohmeyer have all tasted success in the UA lineup, now comes their chance to take that next step.

“We have eight guys on our team and all of the returning guys have played in the SEC and NCAA Tournaments,” Seawell said. “Qualifying is going to be great because they are going to push each other. The three guys that have been here before – Scott (Strohmeyer), Lee (Knox) and Trey (Mullinax), they just have to get more consistent. They have learned from their time, and they all have got a chance to play at the high-est level. Now they just have to get a little more consistent and more importantly, they have to get some confi dence. I know they can do it because they have all the ability. Their biggest thing is when they get their opportunity; they have to take the most of their opportunity.”

The Crimson Tide also welcomes another top recruiting class to campus with two players that can make an immediate impact. Justin Thomas of Goshen, Ky., and Tom Lovelady of Birmingham, Ala., both have the skills to be in the Alabama lineup from day one. They will be counted on to offset the loss of Cauley and solidify the Crimson Tide for years to come.

“I think Justin (Thomas) can step in and make an immediate impact not only on our team, but in college golf,” Seawell said. “We’re looking at being one of the top-fi ve programs again. I think he is going to be somebody who is an immediate impact in college golf on a team who is already ranked in the top fi ve – a national championship caliber team. He’s going to hit the ground running. He’s going to be nervous and not know a lot of things that inexperienced, 18-year-old freshmen don’t know. I would suspect that he will do what all of the other top-caliber players we have recruited have done, and that is to be a great player for us immediately.

“Tom is extremely talented. His God-given ability is about as good as it gets. He has got a great set of hands; he is a shot-maker already at 18 years old. He just needs to

get some experience. I think he has a chance when he leaves here to be something special. Because he has that little thing you can’t teach. He’s got a bunch of different shots, but he is very young. He’s going to college for the fi rst time, he’s got academ-ics, he’s got workouts, he’s got coaches, he’s got all kinds of things. It’s just a matter of how he handles all the stuff that’s going around. Can he prioritize and discipline himself, and if he can, I think he will be a huge impact.”

Alabama will also play a schedule that will both challenge and prepare them for the spring and a run at a SEC and NCAA Championship. The Crimson Tide’s fall sched-ule begins at the Carpet Capital Collegiate on Sept. 9-11 before at stop at Olympia Field and the Fighting Illini Invitational. UA hosts the Jerry Pate National Intercol-legiate at the Old Overton Club in Vestavia Hills, Ala., on Oct. 3-4 before attempting to defend their title at the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational to close the fall schedule.

The spring opens at the Puerto Rico Classic where they will also be looking to defend their title. A trip to Las Vegas, Nev., for the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters is next, followed the Schenkel E-Z-Go Invitational and another attempt to defend at the Linger Longer Invitational. The Tide then returns to the Gary Koch Invitational for the fi rst time in several years for their fi nal tune-up before the SEC Champion-ships on April 20-22. NCAA Regionals are set for May 17-19 with the NCAA Cham-pionships at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, Calif., on May 29-June 3.

Named the University of Alabama’s head men’s golf coach on July 26, 2002, Jay Seawell has rekindled the proud tradition of the Crimson Tide program and has quickly established Alabama as one of the elite programs in the country during his tenure in Tuscaloosa. In his 10th season at the helm of the Crimson Tide men’s golf program, Seawell has his teams rou-tinely ranked among the top fi ve in the country while leading UA to eight NCAA Tournament appearances and fi ve NCAA Championships berths - including fi ve of the last seven. Alabama’s 2010-11 team proved to be one of the

best in school history. The Crimson Tide captured fi ve tournament titles and fi nished ouside of the top four only one time in stroke play. The Tide posted a 137-24-0 record in head-to-head meetings and had four players ranked in the top 65 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index at the end of the season. The Tide posted a runner-up fi nish at the SEC Championships and qualifi ed for the NCAA Cham-pionships with a thrid-place fi nish at the NCAA In-diana Regional. Bud Cauley re-wrote the Alabama record book with a 70.75 scoring average over 36 rounds of golf. He fi nished 15 shots under par and was named a fi rst-team All-American by both PING and Golfweek while also being choosen to the All-Nicklaus team. True freshman Cory Whitsett also garnered All-American honors under Seawell’s tutelage, being named to the second team by both PING and Golfweek while also garnering fi rst-team All-SEC and SEC Freshman of the Year honors. Fellow true freshman Bobby Wyatt was a second-team All-SEC choice. Returning only two lettermen for the 2009-10 sea-son, Seawell was presented one of his biggest chal-lenges. The veteran coach responded with a squad that captured their fourth straight Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate and boasted four medalist throughout the season. The win at the Jerry Pate was the pro-gram’s 15th in eight years under Seawell’s guidance. Hunter Hamrick captured medalist honors at the JPNI and the Western Refi ning All-America Classic while tying for fi rst at the Schenkel E-Z-Go Invita-tional on his way to honorable mention All-America honors. Cauley set a new school record for scoring

average at 71.32 while Hamrick fi nished second on the team with an average of 72.88. Cauley also won the Isleworth Collegiate and the Linger Longer In-vitational while garnering fi rst-team All-American honors. The 2009 team added a program fi rst to Seawell’s resume with a victory at the NCAA Northeast Re-gional. It was the fi rst regional title for the Crimson Tide’s men’s golf team and the club’s second win of the season. Seawell’s teams from 2007-09 fi nished sixth, 13th and 15th, respectively, in the NCAA Championships while the 2008 team also captured the school’s fi rst Southeastern Conference Championship since 1979. UA success over the past several years has energized the Tide’s alumni base and created an excitement for Alabama golf not seen in recent memory. The 2008-09 team fi nished with two tournament titles with wins at the Jerry Pate National Intercol-legiate and the NCAA Northeast Regional. Seawell’s fi ve-man team almost always included at least three freshmen and fi nished with a 292.06-round average. True freshman Cauley garnered second-team PING All-America honors and fi rst-team honors from Golfweek. He was also named fi rst-team All-SEC and the SEC Freshman of the Year. He won medalist honors at the United State Collegiate Cham-pionship while Hunter Hamrick was the medalist at the NCAA Northeast Regional. Cauley was also a semifi nalist for the Ben Hogan Award and selected to play for the Americans at the 2009 Walker Cup and the 2009 Palmer Cup. Alabama’s 2007-08 team fi nished the season

Head coach Jay Seawell has taken the Crimson Tide

to the NCAA Tournament eight times in his fi rst

nine years in Tuscaloosa..

ranked No. 3 in the fi nal Golf World/NIKE Coaches poll and captured its fi rst Southeastern Conference golf championship in 29 years. Seawell’s success at Alabama has caught the attention and respect of his coaching peers who voted him the 2008 SEC Coach of the Year. His 2008 Tide team co-led the nation in team tournament championships with six wins. He has coached Alabama to 13 team tournament cham-pionships and fi ve individual championships in seven years, including four medalists in 2007-08. The team also set the school’s 54-hole record with the 810 it shot to win the 2007 Jerry Pate National Intercol-legiate. His 2006-07 Alabama team made UA history, cata-pulting to the nation’s No. 1 ranking in all three col-legiate polls in September of 2006 and holding on to the top spot in the Coaches’ poll from September through early February of 2007. The team won four tournaments and set school scoring records en route to a sixth-place fi nish at the NCAA Championship and a runner-up showing at the SEC Championships.

Seawell is producing headline-worthy men, on the course and in the classroom. His golfers are among the most active in the Tuscaloosa community, vol-unteering their time at schools and helping host athletic department sponsored events for kids. In 2007-08, the golf team won both of the UA Athletic Department’s biggest awards, the Men’s Team with the Highest GPA and the Men’s Community Service Award. Golf produced six Academic All-SEC award win-ners in 2008. Joseph Sykora, was a three-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American and was vot-ed by the league’s golf coaches as the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year for an SEC-record three times, winning in 2006, 2007 and 2008. In 2008, Sykora won both the SEC’s H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Award (all sports, all males in the league) and the University’s Bryant Award as its top male student-athlete of any sport. Seawell has coached 13 All-Americans during his coaching career, including his latest, Bud Cauley,

Hunter Hamrick and Cory Whitsett.

MAL M. MOOREA T H L E T I C S D I R E C T O R

The University of Alabama’s Director of Athletics since 1999, Mal Moore has made an indelible mark on one of the nation’s most storied athletic programs, leading a department that has enjoyed tremendous success athletically and academically while enjoying an unprecedented period of growth during his tenure.

Through his guidance, Alabama’s athletic department remains focused on his vision of having all Crimson Tide athletic teams and student-athletes competitive at the highest level nationally while continuing to ele-vate athletic facilities at the Capstone to premier status nationally for all sports.

During his tenure as Director of Athletics, Moore has overseen more than $200 million of capital improvements to University of Alabama athletic facilities. Those projects have encompassed the entire scope of all Crimson Tide athletic programs and have benefi tted every Alabama student-athlete, coach, and administrator.

Throughout his multi-faceted career, Moore has worked with a diversifi ed fi eld of constituents, from fellow coaches and former players, to fans and the business com-munity. All of those experiences and relationships - in addition to his ability to unify those many constituents - have made him the ideal person to lead Alabama athletics in the 21st century.

His leadership has been crucial in helping guide Alabama through a period that has been, at times, extremely challenging. His guidance and effort helped Alabama ath-letics weather the storm, while continuing to move in a positive direction toward a future that holds great promise.

Moore’s dedication to, and love of, the University of Alabama was recognized on March 28, 2007, when as a permanent tribute to his lifelong contributions to The University of Alabama, the Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama System offi cially dedicated the facility formerly known as The Football Building as the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility.

Under Moore’s direction, Alabama’s athletic teams have produced three national championships – the 2009 football title and the 2002 and 2011 NCAA gymnastics championships – as well as several Southeastern Conference championships, win-ning titles in football, gymnastics, men’s basketball, women’s golf, men’s golf, men’s cross country, baseball and softball; taking SEC tournament titles in both baseball and softball. Alabama athletes have earned some of the highest honors the SEC and NCAA have to offer, including SEC Athlete of the Year, SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, NCAA Top VIII, NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships and NCAA Sportsperson of the Year. These honors are over and above the individual conference and national titles that Alabama athletes continue to bring home to the Capstone on a regular basis.

In addition to making his mark on Alabama, Moore has also had a national impact as a key member of several prestigious NCAA and college football committees. Moore has served on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, the SEC Athletic Directors Bowl Advisory Committee and the Big Six Conferences Minority Coaches Forum.

Moore’s distinguished record of service to UA began more than 50 years ago when he joined the Crimson Tide football squad as a scholarship player for Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant from 1958-62. Moore has the distinction of being a part of eight national championship teams (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979, 1992 and 2009) with the fi rst coming as a player, the next six during his coaching career and the most recent during his tenure as director of athletics. As a player and coach, he was also part of 14 SEC championships and 27 bowl trips. He is the only individual connected with the Alabama program to be a part of eight national championships.

During a coaching career that spanned 31 years, Moore spent 22 of those at Ala-bama with stops at Montana State, Notre Dame and the NFL’s St. Louis/Phoenix Cardinals. At Alabama, Moore started as a graduate assistant under Coach Bryant in 1964, then as defensive backfi eld coach for six seasons (1965-70) before becoming quarterbacks coach from 1971-82, serving as the Tide’s fi rst offensive coordinator starting in 1975. He would go on to coordinate all of the offensive plays for several of Alabama’s national championship football teams.

A 1963 graduate of The University of Alabama, Moore holds both an undergradu-ate degree in sociology and a 1964 Master’s degree in secondary education from the Capstone. Moore was born December 19, 1939, in Dozier, Ala. He and the late Mrs. Charlotte Moore have one daughter, Mrs. Steve (Heather) Cook of Scottsdale, Ariz., a granddaughter, Anna Lee, and a grandson, Charles Cannon.

The Jerry Pate Golf Center at the Ol’ Colony Golf Complex provides the University of Alabama women’s golf team with one of the best practice and playing facilities in collegiate golf. The Pate Golf Center is a private facility that is only utilized by the Alabama golf teams. The Pate Golf Center provides plenty of space for both the men’s and women’s teams with the ability to conduct full practice sessions during inclem-ent weather. It has six indoor hitting bays and two indoor putting surfaces. The Pate Golf Center is also equipped with state-of-the-art teaching tools, including the V1 Swing Analysis System and Trackman, which aides the coaching staff in ball fl ight analysis using doppler radar and club fi tting. The locker rooms inside the Pate Golf Center have tour-sized lockers and all of the amenities while the lounge area includes comfort-able seating and a large-screen television.

The Ol’ Colony Golf Course was named one of the “Top 5 Best New Public Courses in America” by Golf Digest in 2001 and Golfweek named it one of the top 50 municipal courses in America in 2010. The Jerry Pate-designed course is considered one of the best public courses in the nation. It’s a test for even the most advanced golfer with large bunkers, mature trees and numerous water hazards, including a 25-arce lake that challenges almost every shot.

The practice range at the Pate Golf Center, which already provides the Crimson Tide golfers all of the prac-tice components and tools needed to develop, recently fi nished an expansion and renovation. The practice facility includes a full practice range, putting greens, a chipping area and practice bunkers. The Jerry Pate Golf Center recently has added a new putting green with an expanded chipping and hitting area. The new chipping and hitting areas are complete with new bunkers and practice tees that allow players to hit their own golf balls up to 200 yards into six new target greens.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS

EXCELLENCE IN THE CLASSROOM The Crimson Tide golf team has a history of producing some of the University’s best athletes and bright-est students. Joseph Sykora, a senior in 2008, is the first three-time winner of the Southeastern Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year award from men’s golf, winning in 2006, 2007 and 2008 with his perfect 4.0 GPA. He was also a three-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American, winning in one of the toughest cat-egories, the At-Large division which includes student-athletes from several sports. Sykora finished his Crimson Tide career by capturing the H. Boyd McWorter Award, given to the SEC’s student-athlete of the year. The 2010 and 2011 season had the same six golfers earn SEC Academic Honor accolades in back-to-back seasons, including Bud Cauley, Hunter Hamrick, Lee Knox, Hunter Slatton, Scott Strohmeyer and Phillip Weaver. Cauley and Hamrick also garnered Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-American Scholar honors. In 2009, Alabama saw Matthew Swan named to the Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars Team. The Crimson Tide also had five golfers named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll, including Hamrick, Matt Hughes, Slatton, Swan, and Weaver. In 2008 the Tide golfers again won the athletic department’s award for the men’s team with the highest GPA. Sykora was one of six Crimson Tide golfers named Academic All-SEC in 2008, along with Mark Harrell, Matt Hughes, Ben Moody, Swan and Stewart Whitt. Standing out in the classroom and playing a year-long sport is a feat not easily achieved. Golfers contend with a season that starts in early September and continues through the first week in June with the NCAA championships. Despite those demands, Alabama has produced 94 Academic All-SEC golfers since 1985. Joseph Joyner was the first Tide golfer to be named to the Academic All-SEC Honor Roll in 1985. And, in 2004 when the SEC began its first Freshman Academic Honor Roll, Alabama produced two men on the list. Swan made that team in 2006. Encouraging academic success is as much a part of Bama’s coaching mantra as winning championships. Celebrating academic success is also a priority. Six Tide men’s golfers have won the University of Alabama’s highest award for an athlete, The Bryant Award. Michael Thompson is the latest of the winners, taking the trophy in 2008. The award is announced each spring and is given to the top male and top female student-athlete at the University, placing emphasis on athletic achievement, academic achievement and leadership. Dicky Pride, Marten Olander, Dan Mutert, Allan MacDonald and Michael Thompson are the men’s golfers who have won the Bryant Award. MacDonald was a 1997 Palmer Cup participant. Olander, an All-American on the golf course and a four-time Academic All-American, won the Ben Hogan Award. Pride is a PGA Tour player. Thompson was a 2007 U.S. Amateur finalist and played in the 2008 Masters and U.S. Open as an ama-teur as well as the 2008 U.S. Palmer Cup team. Seawell and assistant coach Scott Limbaugh work closely with the Center for Academic Student Services. Former Tide golfer Lance Walker is an assistant on that staff. CASS monitors the academic progress of each athlete who wears a Crimson Tide uniform and advises the athletes on areas of study that best suit their ca-pabilities and dreams. Study hall is required for all freshmen and any athletes whose grades aren’t Academic All-SEC worthy. Jon Dever is Alabama’s Assistant Athletics Director for Student Services. The CASS Center is located in the Bryant Academic Center as is the Champs’ Lifeskills program. The Bryant Academics Center, which houses the CASS staff and is a frequent stop in the daily lives of Alabama’s student-athletes, is the crown jewel in the Alabama athletic department’s Crimson Tradition Fund facility enhancement campaign. The renovation project at Bryant Hall was completed for $10.3 million in 2005. “This project has been priority one since we started the renovations of our athletic facilities,” said UA ath-letics director Mal Moore. “Academics are at the center of our mission at Alabama and we wanted to create a place that would aid all our student-athletes in their educational pursuits. I feel very strongly that Bryant Hall will benefit every student-athlete, not just during their years at Alabama, but for a lifetime.” Among the building’s many amenities is a 48-seat computer lab equipped with brand new equipment. The computer lab has 25 laptop computers available for student-athletes to check out and use on team road trips. The building features math, English and writing labs along with 40 individual study rooms. A pair of 50-seat classrooms and a 140-seat lecture hall are also available. Located in the lobby of the building is the Crimson Tide Academic Hall of Fame with plaques recognizing all of Alabama’s Academic All-American selections.

JERRY PATE NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE

JERRY PATE NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE Each October, 12 of the nation’s best men’s college golf teams gather in Vestavia Hills, Ala., for the University of Alabama’s annual Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate. In addition to hosting a premier fi eld and event, the tournament annually raises some $20,000 for charities. The host and tournament namesake is the most successful professional golfer to have worn the Crimson and White, Jerry Pate. The former Tide golfer and cur-rent Champions Tour player proudly lends his name and plays an active role - from team selection to presenting the awards trophies. Pate and Alabama have hosted this event since 1986. Originally, it was held in Pate’s hometown of Pensacola, Fla. He moved the tournament to Birmingham’s Shoal Creek in 1992 where it remained for fi ve years. In 1997 the JPNI moved to its current home, the Old Overton Club. The strength of the JPNI fi eld makes it a premier team fall gathering. Even the selection committee is a powerful one. The tournament’s selection committee has included PGA greats Arnold Palmer, Ben Crenshaw and Mark McCormack. The committee seeks the highest-ranked teams from the previous season who are expected to again be in the national title hunt. In the fall of 2004 Georgia fi nished fourth at the JPNI but went on that spring to win the NCAA title. The 1995 JPNI champion Arizona State, won the (spring) 1996 NCAA Championship, and fall 1997 JPNI participant UNLV didn’t win the JPNI, but went on to win the 1998 NCAA title. The 1994 fi eld included all of the top nine from the 1994 NCAA Championships, including national champion - and 1994 Jerry Pate Champions - Stanford, led by 1994 U.S. Amateur Champion Tiger Woods. Woods was also the 1994 JPNI medalist. Other prominent medalists include LSU’s David Tomas (1988), Arizona’s Rory Sabbatini (1997), Georgia Tech’s Bryce Molder (2000), Oklahoma State’s Hunter Mahan (2001) and Wake Forest’s Bill Haas (2002) Alabama has had recent success in the Jerry Pate National Intercollegaite, winning four of the past fi ve years. The Crimson Tide has also seen four play-ers capture medalist honors over the years, including David Kirkpatrick in 1991, Joseph Sykora in 2006, Mark Harrell in 2007 and Hunter Hamrick in 2009.

Each May, the NCAA hosts six regionals, which are spread around the country and provide for exciting golf from coast to coast. The six-regional format was started at the 2009 NCAA Championships and replaces the old three-regional system that began play in 1992 when the NCAA fi rst instituted a regional format. Each of the six regional sites will qualify fi ve teams for the NCAA Championship Finals, being held at the Riviera Country Club, on May 29-June 3, 2012. Those 30 teams will then play 54 holes of stroke play, with the individual champion being declared at that point. The top-eight teams after the 54 holes of stroke play will then move on to match play and be seeded according to their fi nish in the stroke play portion. The No. 1 team will face the No. 8 team, No. 2 will face No. 7, No. 3 vs. No. 6 and No. 4 vs. No. 5. The team that wins three rounds of match play will be crowned the national champion. Teams are selected for regional competition based upon their overall tournament fi nishes and head-to-head fi nishes against other teams that are in their region. Selection is made by a regional committee made up of head coaches. From 1989 through the 2008 NCAA Championships, the fi nals consisted of 72 holes of play with a cut after 54 holes to the top-15 teams.
