Nationwide Tour Comes to Athens

The Stadion Classic at UGA will be played this week at the UGA Golf Course. The tournament primarily benefits need based schollys at UGA, but through the Tickets Fore Charity^TM program, Athens area non-profits can benefit as well.  

If you are going and haven't bought your tickets yet, simply go here, select your charity of choice, and purchase. The options range from children advocacy organizations to local churches and the proceeds directly benefit the Athens area organization you select.

Our Master's Champion

I don't think there is anything I can add to the pure joy of Bubba winning the Masters. He is everything you want in an representative of UGA. Wears his heart and his faith on his sleeve. He is Red and Black to the core.

And all he does is win.

Anyway, I just saw this and thought it was too good not to post it.

My only wish is they would have let Uncle Vern do the honors in Butler Cabin last night.

Brian Harman Sets New Course Record

Brian Harman put himself in contention at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach by shattering the course record with a 61, breaking the course record by 3 shots. Harman, who won his tour card at Q school last year, was joined on the leader board by Harris English. Harman is T5 at -6; English is T8 at -5.

English will be in the fourth from the last group, paired with Jimmy Walker (which is dyn-o-mite). Harman will be paired with Augusta State alum Vaughn Taylor in the third from final group.

NBC has the coverage this afternoon from 3-6pm.

In Other News

Men's Golf and baseball just got a little less deep:

• Closer Tyler Maloof will be out for at least a month with a muscle strain in his arm. Maloof tied the single season save record last year, but had a big ERA. We were looking to have him get stronger in close situations. Now we might not have him available until well into the SEC schedule. Blake Dieterich and Bryan Benzor are the top candidates to get the ball for now.
• Bryden Macpherson has decided to withdraw from school and take up golf as a profession. Macpherson qualified for The Masters with a win in last year's British Amateur Open. Macpherson was the SEC Freshman of the year and a big part of our National Championship runner up finish last year. I expect to hear some muffled 'Go Dawgs' when he tees it up in Augusta.
