When it comes to filling out his lineup, University of Alabama men’s golf coach Jay Seawell likens the five he plays during a team event to a starting rotation in Major League Baseball . Each slot, one through five, means something, with different opportunities and varied expectations . “Someone is the starting pitcher for a reason, and somebody is the No . 1 man for a reason,” said the coach who is entering his 14th season with the Crimson Tide . “Somebody is the five-man for a reason . It doesn’t mean that they both get the ball, that they both do the same thing . If you think about it there’s a responsibility and a pressure that goes with each one . I’m looking, in my mind, trying to fill in a spot with each . “The good thing about last year is that LSU proved that you don’t have to have an No . 1 everyday starter to win the national championship . They kind of had a bunch of No . 2s and 3s .” While the national crown stayed in the Southeastern Conference, giving the league its third straight title after Alabama went back-to-back in 2013 and 2014, the young Crimson Tide wasn’t on hand to attempt the three-peat . By placing seventh at the NCAA Noblesville Regional the Crimson Tide failed to reach Nationals for the first time since 2010 . However, everyone’s back and there’s still only one senior on the

roster . If Seawell is able to solve his biggest problem from 2014-15, never really finding that No . 5 starter, the Crimson Tide could be right back contending . Even so, a lot will depend on the players being counted on most at the top of the lineup, namely junior Robby Shelton and senior Tom Lovelady . To the coach, Shelton isn’t just the equivalent of having a No . 1 starter, but a staff ace . “I like my ace,” he said . “I like aces . That one guy, or that ace, is that guy who when you really need it at the end, whatever that round is, whether it’s the end of the NCAAs, SEC’s, regionals or really any tournament, that they’ve just got it . They have that ‘it’ about them . The more the pressure ratchets up the more things internally and flaws are always exposed . “The reason why the better players always play better in the bigger events is not because, ‘Oh, they finally show up,’ it’s because that pressure gets tighter . The reason why they’re so good shows . That’s why I like them .” Shelton arrived at the Capstone as the nation's No . 1-ranked junior golfer and during his first two years he posted two of the three lowest stroke averages in program history (70 .14 in 2014 and 70 .61 in 2015) . The two-time All-American was named the 2014 National Freshman of the Year (Phil Mickelson Award), and the 2014 SEC Player of the Year .

4 ALABAMA MEN’S GOLF

This past season he was ranked seventh in the Golfweek/Sagarin performance Index, and in addition to being a semifinalist for the prestigious Ben Hogan Award honoring the nation's top amateur golfer was named to the United States Walker Cup team and the United States Palmer Cup team -- a Ryder Cup-type event between college/university golfers . Shelton won all four of his matches to help lead the 18-12 victory over Europe . Over the summer he also competed in his first PGA event as an amateur and finished tied for third with a four-day total of 14-under par 270 at the Barbasol Championship on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Grand National in Opelika, Ala . Consequently, Seawell is looking for Shelton take the next step in his career, and the coach isn’t holding back by setting the highest of goals for his junior standout . Specifically, he wants him to take aim at being the collegiate player of the year . “I think Robby is the best player in the world,” the coach explained . “He’s phenomenal and he’s still just a 20-year-old kid . As talented as he is sometimes we take him for granted a little bit, they’re so talented we think we’re robotic a little bit, and they’re not . There’s a life, a breath and a heartbeat inside of all of them, especially him . How do we go that one extra step to become that guy? That’s’ where they want to be, he should be, but there has to be that step .” Seawell’s other goal on the individual side for Lovelady to wrap up his impressive career as an All-American . The fifth-year senior and team captain was granted a medical hardship for the 2011-12 season and has already won two national championships and three Southeastern Conference titles . If those two things happen, Seawell won’t have to work too much about the team side, especially since two other spots in the lineup are pretty much locked up as well . “There’s Jonathan Hardee, who was All-SEC freshman, and Dru Love just won the Georgia State-Am,” Seawell said . “Those four

guys really separated themselves on last year’s team .” That leaves the fifth slot, where Seawell might have another potential ace in the making . Out of Hattiesburg, Miss ., freshman Davis Riley was the 2014-15 American Family Insurance ALL-USA Boys Golf Player of the Year, and played in the U .S . Open after placing eighth in a sectional qualifier . “Davis Riley is really good,” Seawell said about his 18-year-old newcomer who was ranked third by Golfweek and No . 6 by the American Junior Golf Association . “That fifth spot was kind of a bouncing-around spot at the end of the year . Is it someone returning from last year? Is it the Robby Praters of the world? Or is it Tyler Hitchner, or someone like that? Or is it Davis Riley? That’s what we’re going to find out . Everyone has to earn their spot when they get here . Everyone knows that, we recruit that way . “I believe in the end, with Davis, that will be the five guys that we see at the beginning of the year, but I also know that on the back end the other guys are good enough to get into the lineup,” he said . “So I’m excited about that .” Sewell got a taste of the team’s potential during the 2015-16 opening event when before fading in the final round Alabama held the lead and Davis was atop the leaderboard of the Carpet Collegiate Classic . The Crimson Tide was also without Shelton, who was in England participating in the Walker Cup (he went 1-1-2 as the United States lost to Great Britain & Ireland) . “I think we have a chance to be pretty good,” Seawell said .

Jay Seawell not only rekindled the proud tradition of the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s golf program, he has entrenched the Crimson Tide into the forefront of the nation’s elite teams, securing back-to-back national championships in 2013 and 2014 . The 14th-year head coach is now charged with sustaining one of the country’s top programs – something that is made easier with the return of every golfer from the 2015-16 season . The golf team’s success under Seawell has energized the Tide’s alumni base and created an excitement for Alabama golf not seen in recent memory . Named The University of Alabama’s head men’s golf coach on July 26, 2002, Seawell’s teams have captured four Southeastern Conference championships, including three over the last four seasons . He has led UA to 12 NCAA Tournament appearances and eight NCAA Championship berths – all in the past 12 years .

His 2012 team reached the NCAA Finals, falling just short to Texas . The Tide used that experience to fuel a return trip to the NCAA Finals in 2013 and 2014 . Seawell is producing headline-worthy student-athletes on the course and in the classroom while his golfers also are among the most active in the Tuscaloosa community, volunteering their time at schools and helping host athletic department events for local children . Men’s golf has put 70 players on the SEC Academic Honor Roll in the last 13 years and he has seen eight players (16 honors) named to the Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar Team . Joseph Sykora, was a three-time Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-American and was voted by the league golf coaches as the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year an SEC-record three times . In 2008, Sykora won the SEC’s H . Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Award (all sports, all males in the league) and Alabama’s Bryant Award, as the top male student-athlete from any sport . Cory Whitsett then received the 2012 and 2013 NCAA Elite 89 Award, presented annually to the golfer at the NCAA Championships with the highest GPA . He also was named a 2013 and 2014 Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-American and the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year while winning the H . Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Award and the Bryant Award in 2014 . Seawell has coached 29 All-Americans during his coaching career with 14 of those coming over the last four years alone (four in 2011-12, five in 2012-13, four more in 2013-14 and one last season) . His golfers at Alabama have been nominated for the sport’s highest national awards, including the Ben Hogan Award, the Jack Nicklaus Award, the Fred Haskins Award, the Phil Mickelson Award and the Byron Nelson Award . Justin Thomas won the Nicklaus, Haskins and Mickelson awards in 2012 and Robby Shelton was named the Mickelson Award winner in 2014 .

TORY

The Crimson Tide golf team has a history of producing some of the University’s best athletes and brightest students . Joseph Sykora, a senior in 2008, became the first men’s golfer (from any school) to be a three-time recipient of the Southeastern Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, winning in 2006, 2007 and 2008 with his 4 .0 cumulative GPA . Cory Whitsett has since followed with two NCAA Elite 89 Awards (2012 and 2013), the 2014 Bryant Award and was named a Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-American in 2013 and 2014 . Sykora was a three-time Academic All-American, winning in one of the toughest categories, the at-large division, which includes student-athletes from several sports . Sykora finished his Crimson Tide career by receiving the H . Boyd McWhorter Award, presented to the SEC’s Student-Athlete of the Year . Whitsett became the second Alabama golfer honored with the McWhorter Award in 2014 . The 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons each saw six Alabama golfers earn SEC Academic Honor Roll accolades while five were chosen in 2013 . The list includes players such as Bud Cauley, Hunter Hamrick, Lee Knox, Trey Mullinax, Hunter Slatton, Scott Strohmeyer, Phillip Weaver, Cory Whitsett, Bobby Wyatt and Justin Thomas . Cauley and Hamrick also garnered Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-American Scholar honors in 2011 and Hamrick became a two-time honoree in 2012 . Whitsett, Wyatt, Strohmeyer and Mullinax all were honored as All-American Scholars in 2013 . Whitsett became the first men’s golfer from Alabama to be honored with the NCAA Elite 89 Award in 2012 and made it back-to-back honors in 2013 . The NCAA Elite 89 Award is presented to the competitor with the highest GPA at the NCAA Championships . Standing out in the classroom while 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 last week of May with the NCAA Championships . Despite those demands, Alabama has produced 121 Academic All-SEC golfers since 1985 . Joseph Joyner was the first Tide golfer to be named to the Academic All-SEC Honor Roll . In 2004, the SEC began its Freshman Academic Honor Roll . Since that time, 13 Crimson Tide freshmen have been honored . Encouraging academic success is as much a part of Alabama’s coaching mantra as is winning championships . Celebrating academic success also is a priority . Six Alabama men’s golfers have received Alabama’s highest academic honor for an athlete, The Bryant Award . Cory Whitsett is the most recent of the recipients,

winning the honor in 2012 and 2013 . 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 Thompson are the men’s golfers who have received the Bryant Award . Olander, an All-American on the golf course and a four-time Academic All-American, earned the Ben Hogan Award in 1993 . Pride is a PGA Tour player . Seawell and assistant coach Jon Howell work closely with the Center for Academic Student Services (CASS) . 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 capabilities and dreams . Study hall is required for all freshmen and for any athletes whose grades aren’t Academic All-SEC worthy . Jon Dever is Alabama’s Associate 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 former Alabama athletics 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 .” The building’s many amenities include a 48-seat computer lab that boasts 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 also are available . The lobby of the building showcases the Crimson Tide Academic Hall of Fame with plaques recognizing all of Alabama’s Academic All-America selections .

The Jerry Pate Golf Center at the Ol’ Colony Golf Complex provides the University of Alabama men’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 inclement weather . The facility 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, the SAM Putting Lab and Trackman, which aides the coaching staff in ball flight analysis using doppler radar and club fitting . The locker rooms inside the Pate Golf Center feature tour-sized lockers and all of the amenities, while the lounge area includes comfortable 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 . The course is a test for even the most advanced golfer with large bunkers, mature trees and numerous water hazards, including a 25-acre lake that challenges almost every shot .

The practice range at the Pate Golf Center, which already provides the Crimson Tide golfers all of the practice components and tools needed to develop, recently finished 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 .

RECORDS & HISTORY

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 welcoming a premier field for this elite event, the tournament annually raises some $20,000 for charities . The host and tournament namesake Jerry Pate is the most successful professional golfer to have worn the Crimson and White . The former Tide golfer and current 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, the tournament was held in Pate’s hometown of Pensacola, Fla . He moved the tournament in 1992 to Birmingham’s Shoal Creek, where it remained for five years . In 1997, the JPNI moved to its current home, the Old Overton Club . The strength of the JPNI field 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 that are expected to again be in the national title hunt . In the fall of 2004, Georgia finished 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 while fall 1997 JPNI participant UNLV didn’t win the JPNI, but the Rebels went on to win the 1998 NCAA title . The 1994 field included all of the top nine team from the 1994 NCAA Championships, including national champion and 1994 Jerry Pate champion, Stanford, which was led by 1994 U .S . Amateur Champion Tiger Woods . Woods also was the 1994 JPNI medalist . Other prominent medalists have included 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 joined the list of JPNI participants that went on to win the NCAA National Championship . The Tide won the 2012 Jerry Pate Natoinal Intercollegiate and then emerged victorious at the 2013 NCAA Championships . The Crimson Tide has experienced recent success in the Jerry Pate National Intercollegaite, winning five of the past seven years . The Crimson Tide has seen five players capture medalist honors over the years, including David Kirkpatrick in 1991, Joseph Sykora in 2006, Mark Harrell in 2007, Hunter Hamrick in 2009 and Justin Thomas in 2012 .

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 replaced the old three-regional system that began play in 1992 when the NCAA first instituted a regional format . Each of the six 2015 regional sites will qualify five teams for the NCAA Championship Finals, being held at The Concession Club in Bradenton, Fla ., on May 28-June 2, 2015 . Those 30 teams then will play 54 holes of stroke play (May 28-30) and cut to the top-15 teams and top 40 individuals for a fourth round of stroke play to determine match-play seedings and the NCAA individual champion . 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 . Match play quarterfinals and semifinals will be held on June 1, followed by the finals on June 2 . Teams are selected for regional competition based upon their overall tournament finishes and head-to-head finishes against other teams that are in their region . Selection is made by a regional committee compromised of head coaches . From 1989 through the 2008 NCAA Championships, the finals consisted of 72 holes of play with a cut after 54 holes to the top-15 teams .
