Opelika, AL – Rising Alabama Crimson Tide junior Robby Shelton tied for third place at the Barbasol Championship golf tournament in Opelika, Alabama.
Shelton finished the tournament at fourteen under par tied with Wee Kim from Japan, and Ricky Barnes from the USA. ” It was amazing. I played well, that’s all I could ask for. To do this with a sponsor exemption, it’s great. I mean, I’m speechless right now,” said Shleton.
The Barbasol Championship is Shelton’s second career start in a PGA TOUR event. He missed the cut last season at the U.S. Open. “I’ve always wanted to be on the tour. It’s been fun being out here with them. (any consideration going pro) Not right now. I mean, I’ve got to work on my putting, for sure,” Shelton said.
