Tournament Talk: Alex Ross' 57 at the Dogwood Invitational

March 18, 2020 | by AmateurGolf.com Staff

Alex Ross talks about his historic round, his golf game, and his return to Druid Hills for the 2020 Dogwood Invitational

You've probably heard the joke where someone says "Where's the first tee? What's the course record?"

As it turns out, last summer at the Dogwood Invitational, Davidson College sophomore Alex Ross asked exactly that. He then proceeded to shoot an unheard-of 15-under 57.

As a part of our “Tournament Talk” series, AmateurGolf.com founder Pete Wlodkowski chatted with Alex about his historic round, his golf game, and his return to Druid Hills for the 2020 Dogwood Invitational.
