Alabama won its first title of the season on Tuesday, and head coach Jay Seawell hopes it's a good vibe to take into postseason
Head coach Jay Seawell called it a little something good to take into the championship season.
Alabama didn’t finish outside the top 5 in the fall, but the Tide lost arguably their best player at the midway point of the season. Senior Davis Riley left a semester early to chase a professional career, and Alabama struggled without him.
With a junior, two sophomore and two freshmen in the lineup, Alabama went 13 under at last year’s U.S. Women’s Open venue. That was 19 shots better than runner-up LSU. North Florida was another six shots behind that.Hear what @jcwellbamagolf had to say following the Crimson Tide’s victory at the Shoal Creek Invitational!#RollTide pic.twitter.com/kglDSq5azy

Sophomore Wilson Furr led four Alabama golfers who finished among the top-10 individuals, as he claimed his first college individual crown with a season-low 54-hole total of 7-under par 209. After an opening round of even par 72, Furr carded rounds of 4-under 68 and 3-under 69 over the final 36 holes to capture a two-stroke win over North Florida's Cody Carroll (211).
"It feels great," Furr said of earning his first win. "It was a little nerve-wracking out there for sure, but I couldn't be more excited about it. I've always loved playing on (Shoal Creek) and to get our first win out here is great. That's the best part is that we had a total team effort. Everyone played well this week. It's fun. It's always fun to celebrate with my teammates – everything's more fun with them."
