Senior Brad Bawden will lead Tigers into event at Innisbrook Resort
PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Led by the play of senior Bradley Bawden, the University of Memphis will enter the American Athletic Conference Men's Golf Championship with some momentum.
Â
The Championship will be played April 21, 22 and 23 at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort. The winner earns an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Â
Bawden, from Hockley, England, had a top 10 finish in the Mason Rudolph Championship two weeks ago in Franklin, Tenn., and followed with a top 20 finish at the Old Waverly Collegiate Championship at West Point, Miss.
Â
Bawden has had six consecutive rounds – and eight of his last nine – under par. He opened the spring season by earning the individual title in the Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate at Hilton Head, S.C.
Â
Joining Bawden at the Copperhead Course will be Chase Harris, Isaiah Jackson, Borja Martin, Guillaume Chevalier and Nick Giles.
Â
The Tiger finished fourth at last year's AAC Championship behind champion USF, SMU and UCF. Played at the same Copperhead Course, the Tigers were led by Martin (3-over 216) and Bawden (5-over 218).
Â
Memphis finished the 2018 Championship at 19-over 871. The Tigers' best result in an AAC Championship came in 2016 when they were runner-up – by 20 strokes – to USF. USF has won four straight titles, all by 13 or more strokes.
