ST. SIMON'S ISLAND, Ga. (April 27, 2014) -- Alabama justified it's top spot in the national rankings with a dominating victory at the 2014 SEC Men's Golf Championship at Sea Island.

Using a medalist performance from Bobby Wyatt, the Tide won in record-setting and wire-to-wire fashion, finishing 16 shots ahead of LSU.

Wyatt shot rounds of 65-61-66 to blow away the competition. He was seven shots better than LSU's Smylie Kaufman, who took solo second in the individual race.

Alabama also received solid play from Robby Shelton (67-67-66) and Cory Whitsett (68-71- 67).

Alabama won the SEC title for the third straight year and for the fifth time overall. Wyatt is the fourth Alabama player to garner medalist honors, joining Bobby Hill in 1952, Michael Thompson in 2008 and Justin Thomas in 2012.
