Alabama men’s golf team advances to NCAA Finals

The Alabama men’s golf team has a chance to do what the women’s team did just over a week ago — win a championship.

The Crimson Tide defeated California 3-2 in semifinal match at the NCAA Championships play to advance to Sunday’s national championship competition.

The Tide knocked off California with a great performance by senior Hunter Hamrick on the final few holes to punch its ticket into the finals of the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships.
