For the second time this season and third time in his UAB career, Sucher captured a tournament title. The Mobile, Ala. native closed out an impressive performance at the Bank of America Intercollegiate with a four-under 68 on Tuesday to capture medalist honors, closing play with a nine-under par 207. Sucher entered the event ranked as the nation's 45th-ranked golfer and did not disappoint. After carding rounds of 69 and 70 during Monday's opening two rounds, Sucher scorched the par-72, 7,305-yard Reunion Golf Course over Tuesday's final 18. He recorded a total of five birdies with just two bogeys over the final round to finish with a 207. His three rounds of 70 and below during the event now gives him 12 such rounds this season. He was one of just two players to break 70 over the final 18 holes, helping him capture the event by two strokes. This is Sucher's fourth career weekly honor, his second in 2007-08 (Feb. 20).
