UTC junior Stephan Jaeger practices a few iron shots.Stephan Jaeger will be a professional golfer before the end of the calendar year.
But he’s still got one, two, perhaps three or more tournaments to play as an amateur.
The first will begin Thursday when he and his University of Tennessee at Chattanooga teammates play in one of six NCAA regional tournaments.
“I think it’s a good ending, and it would be a real nice ending to play Riviera, and that would be a nice conclusion to my career at UTC,” Jaeger said. “I’m ready to do this, and I’m ready for the next step to play as a professional.
“We have a couple weeks left, and I’ll do the best I can.”
