Chattanooga Christian sophomore Scott Stevens already has heard from Vanderbilt, Ole Miss and Clemson asking about his interest in playing golf at those universities.
He’s also noticed University of Tennessee at Chattanooga coach Mark Guhne and assistant Ben Rickett following him around in some tournaments.
Stevens’ interest in staying at home to play college golf rose last weekend when UTC senior Steven Fox won the U.S. Amateur in 37 holes at fabled Cherry Hills outside Denver.
“He represented Chattanooga really well for doing that,” Stevens said. “I thought it was pretty awesome. He never gave up and kept fighting.”
Fox’s victory has expanded Guhne’s recruiting base across the nation and drew the attention of Chattanooga’s best prep golfers.
