- Men's Golf: In what was a bizarre turn of events, the Alabama men’s golf team was disqualified from play at the LSU Invitational following Saturday’s second round. The team went ahead and played Sunday’s 18-hole final round, but the individual scores did not count for a team total. The series of events began Saturday morning when Davis Shore could not play due to a back injury, leaving the Crimson Tide with just four golfers in its lineup. After UA had carded a team score of even par 288 during the second round, it was then discovered Sunday morning as Tide was warming up that freshman JP Cave signed for an incorrect scorecard that was one shot lower than his actual score which caused him to be disqualified. That left Alabama with just three countable scores on Saturday, which forced the entire team to be disqualified. Despite not playing for a team title, the Tide still competed in the third round as individuals and was led by Wilson Furr who finished tied for third overall with a 54-hole total of even par 216 (79-69-68). It was just his second top-five finish and seventh top-10 result of his career.
