Alabama Wins SEC Men’s Championship

ST. SIMON’S ISLAND, Ga – The University of Alabama captured their sixth team win of the season at the SEC Championship, Sunday. Alabama erased a three-stroke deficit entering the final to come from behind and win. Alabama shot final round 290(+10), the low round of the day on the difficult Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club. The victory is the Crimson Tide’s fourth straight win, and second SEC Championship in a row. Leading the way for the Crimson Tide was junior Cory Whitsett, who finished T3 individually, carding a 54-hole total of 209 (-1).
