MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis men's golf head coach Blake Smart announced Tuesday the addition of standout transfer Alvin Su and freshman Harrison Shaw to the Tigers' 2026-27 roster.
"Alvin is a nice piece to add this offseason," Smart said. "He is bringing three wins and a sub 71 stroke average to Memphis, and looks to be a guy looking for playing time early."
"Harrison brings an enthusiasm and energy that matches his size and power," Smart said. "I'm excited to help him develop his raw athleticism and direct his energy towards elite performance while at Memphis."
Su joins Memphis after a decorated two-year stint at the University of Rochester, a Division III powerhouse, where he captured three individual titles during his sophomore campaign.
The Shanghai, China native comes off an exceptional sophomore season with the Yellowjackets, where he was named a GCAA Third-Team All-American and the Liberty League Player of the Year. Su wrapped up the 2025-26 season ranked No. 21 nationally in the Scoreboard/Clippd Division III individual rankings.
During his sophomore campaign, Su set a program single-season record with a 71.4 stroke average, breaking his own mark from his rookie year. He also rewrote the Rochester history books by climbing to No. 1 all-time in career scoring average at 72.13 and tying the school record with 24 career rounds at par or better.
As a freshman in 2024-25, Su burst onto the scene to earn GCAA Honorable Mention All-America and All-Freshman Team honors. He proved to be one of the most consistent players in the country, carding every single round of his rookie season at 77 strokes or better and securing a top-20 finish at the NCAA Division III National Championships.
Shaw comes to Memphis after a decorated career at Booker T. Washington High School where he won the 2025 Oklahoma 5A Individual State Title by a dominant six strokes, making history as both the first state champion in his school's history and the first African American golfer to win an individual state title in Oklahoma history.
The Tulsa, Oklahoma, native was the 2025 Oklahoma Junior Golf Tour Spring Shootout Champion, as well as a standout performer at the OJGT Lincoln Park tournament. A long-time competitor on the junior circuits, Shaw also claimed both PGA Junior Sectional and Regional Championship titles during his junior career.
