Good read here...click on that link and read about their run...
The powerhouse football team apparently isnāt the only dynasty at the University of Alabama.
The Crimson Tide also have a stranglehold on the No. 1 ranking in menās golf ā and no BCS computer was required.
Actually, those two worlds will collide this Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium, in front of more than 100,000 fans. The golf team will be presented its 2013 NCAA Championship rings during the Alabama-Tennessee game, and it seems poised to add to its collection of jewels this season.
The Tideās standing as the No. 1 team in the country was solidified further this week at the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational, where they went wire-to-wire to sweep the team and individual titles against the second-best field of the season.
Two years ago, they lost the NCAA Championship to Texas on the final green.
Last year, they dominated the match-play bracket en route to the first team title in school history.
Now, theyāve won all three of their fall starts, and nine consecutive overall (dating to the spring), and 10 of their last 11.
Theyāre winning this fall by an average of 15.3 strokes. During this nine-event win streak (the NCAA Championship is a match-play final), they have won by an average of more than 12 shots. Individually, an Alabama player has finished first or second in all eight stroke-play wins over that span.
āWe all know this window will come and go,ā Alabama coach Jay Seawell said this week, ābut we want to enjoy it.ā
And why not? For the first time since 2006, the Tide are enjoying a fruitful fall campaign.
Entering this season, Alabama had won just four of its last 16 fall starts. This time, the Tide won their season opener by 18 shots, their second event by 16, and now Isleworth by a dozen. Their last fall start is the Nov. 4-5 Gifford Collegiate at Pelican Hill in California.<iframe style="display: none;" allowtransparency="true" id="rufous-sandbox" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
