Calhoun golf alumnus Sam Murphy was named among those to compete in the Sanderson Farms Championship PGA TOUR.
According to Richard Morgan, Calhoun Men’s Golf Coach, the Hartselle, Alabama native had a stellar athletics career during his time at Calhoun and was named National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-American. “Murphy has always been an impeccable player to watch,” commented Morgan. “His golf skills and swing were precise, and because of that, in the spring of 2018, he led our golf team to the NJCAA National Championship in Texas,” added Morgan.
Murphy brought a lot of excitement to Calhoun’s golf team as he led them to another championship during the fall of 2018. The team competed in Wallace State’s two-day Fall Invitational at Cross Creek Golf Course with Murphy scoring a 13-under, 203. “This is a proud moment not only for Sam, but for myself and the entire Calhoun family as well,” says Morgan. “Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my former athletes excel in the game of golf. It not only speaks volumes about Calhoun’s golf program, but it also shows our level of support in training our students to become professional athletes if they so choose,” said Morgan.
Sam will tee off tomorrow at 1:45 p.m. CST. The tournament will be held in Jackson, MS, and will air on the Golf Channel from Thursday, September 29 through Oct. 2. To learn more about Calhoun’s Golf Program, visit www.calhoun.edu/golf.
