this was really great to se...
-Steven Fox held his white University of Tennessee at Chattanooga cap in his hand while watching Michael Weaver putt on the 36th hole of the U.S. Amateur final match Sunday.
Fox believed Weaver would sink the putt and beat him by the narrowest of margins, but the ball rimmed around the cup and spun to the side, giving Fox another chance to make golfing history for Chattanooga.
He and Weaver went into a sudden-death playoff to determine the national amateur championship, a prize previously claimed by the likes of Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods legends of the game.
Fox won on the first extra hole.
The UTC senior swept in an 18-foot birdie putt, resulting in his father running onto the green for a hug with caddie Ben Rickett and jubilation for those wearing blue-and-gold at Cherry Hills Country Club in Colorado, plus UTC supporters everywhere.
