Alabama State golf team wins Black College Hall of Fame tournament



ATLANTA – The Alabama State men’s golf team shattered both team and individual records, coming from four strokes back to win the Black College Hall of Fame tournament.

The Hornets matched Saturday’s 10-under-par round with another 10-under 278 on Sunday and pulled away from first-day leader Savannah State and Tennessee State, whom they were tied with after the first day. ASU finished 15 strokes ahead of its nearest competitor.

The Hornets’ combined 20-under-par score shattered the former team record for 36 holes which was set two years ago at the James Shannon Invitational when ASU shot a two-day total of 1 over par.
Jose Rodriguez completed the tournament matching his Saturday score with another 6-under 66. He finished 12 under for the tournament and won the all-around individual championship.

Rodriguez’s 12 under was also an individual school record for 36 holes. Former ASU standout John Montgomery previously held the record with a 7-under-par finish at the James Shannon Invitational in 2010.

Branson Ferrier and Francis Berthaime both shot 69s on Sunday and both finished at 5 under par.
