Has the university of Alabama ever had a former golfer win a Major in golf?

Thompson actually transferred from Tulane.
(Of course the local news mentioned THAT first before they say he transferred to Alabama :)


The funniest thing from following the U.S. Open thread on the more sports board was how the Rantards over there were claiming Thompson for Tulane after the first round. Once they realized he played golf at Alabama and had Alabama head covers they started pulling against him. Once they realized Peterson and Toms weren't going to match Thompson's +2 total they were hoping Simpson held on because they "didn't want to see a Gump win it all".

I don't think any Tulane or Tulane/LSU fans really cared if Thompson won or not. I think most actually were pulling for all three to do well...
Pretty cool to have a Tulane - Alabama transfer plus 2 LSU players all in the top 5.....
