not sure why you are claiming this
Seawell is a great coach.
he coaches them to play their best golf individually. there is no team work involved in college golf. its not like they play a scramble

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.....

Stewart Cink is I believe from Huntsville.
He did attend Ga tech however.

Hunter Hamrick and Jason Bohn were also around for the weekend at the US Open.

I didn't realize that if you made the cut in the U.S Open that you get to bypass a stage of q school which is a nice perk of making the cut for both John Peterson and Hunter Hamrick.

Agreed. Thompson told Costas yesterday that Bama's golf coach did not teach him the fundamentals of backpedaling.
