University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior golfer Steven Fox, the reigning U.S. Amateur champion, will tee off Thursday in Turkey as one of three United States representatives in the 28th World Team Amateur Championship. Each of the 72 teams will count its best two scores each day in the four rounds of stroke play at Cornelia Golf Club, designed by Nick Faldo, and the PGA Sultan Course at Antalya Golf Club. Fox is 17th in the World Amateur rankings, and his teammates are No. 1 Chris Williams of the University of Washington, whom Fox beat in the U.S. Am final, and No. 2 Justin Thomas, the Ben Hogan Award winner from Alabama. "This is one of the spoils of victory," said UTC coach Mark Guhne, whose other Mocs will play in the Brickyard Collegiate this weekend in Macon, Ga. "What an amazing opportunity. He gets to represent his country while getting to explore another part of the world, one he probably never would have seen otherwise."
