Three rounds have passed at The Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., and former Alabama golfer Bud Cauley went to bed on Saturday night one shot out of the lead.

He carded a third-round 66 and is 11 under par for the event. J.J. Spaun, who has one PGA Tour win to his name (the 2022 Valero Texas Open) is in sole possession of first place at 12-under.

Cauley initially turned professional in 2011, after his junior season at Alabama. His previous career best at The Players Championship was a tie for 47th place back in 2019.

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

  • March 16, 1963: The Saturday Evening Post in its issue dated March 23 alleged Alabama coach Paul W. “Bear” Bryant was given information by Georgia athletic director Wally Butts prior to the 1962 game won by Alabama 35-0. They ended up suing the publication.
  • March 16, 1956: Ozzie Newsome was born in Muscle Shoals, Ala.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“I scored a touchdown on the first reception I made in the NFL and spiked the ball. The instant I did, I felt horrible and couldn't wait for the game to end so I could call Coach Bryant and apologize. He said he didn't even notice, but I never spiked the ball again.”
Ozzie Newsome
