It was a banner blue and gold day on Thursday, August 23, when Governor Bill Haslam, Senator Bob Corker and UT President Joe DiPietro visited campus to high five Mocs golfer Steven Fox.\u00a0\u00a0 Fox won the U.S. Amateur Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club in Colorado less than a week ago. <\/p>\n

A reception for Fox in Lansing Court additionally drew elected officials, faculty, staff, student athletes and classmates who came out to show their support and pride in Fox\u2019s accomplishment.\u00a0 Fox was appreciative of everyone taking the time to attend the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo represent the Power C is an honor,\u201d Fox told the crowd.<\/p>\n

From his den on Lookout Mountain, Chancellor Roger Brown watched Fox with growing excitement as the senior business major calmly advanced.\u00a0 Brown called Fox\u2019s win \u201cone of the greatest events in UC and UTC history.\u201d He spoke of Fox\u2019s true grit and courage.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteven set a high bar for performance and sportsmanship,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n

Brown wasn\u2019t the only who watched the nail-biter.\u00a0 Senator Bob Corker told the UTC crowd he was \u201cglued to the television.\u201d\u00a0 With every putt, he found himself either \u201cleaning left, or leaning right.\u201d He called Fox after his big win.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has nurturing parents, because Steven had empathy for the person who lost.\u00a0 He was a gracious, empathetic winner,\u201d Corker said.<\/p>\n

Fox\u2019s opponent, University of California-Berkeley junior Michael Weaver, had his winning putt on No. 36 wrap around the cup and come out, which extended the match for one more hole. Fox took advantage by sinking a 15-footer for birdie and the win on the first playoff.<\/p>\n

According to the USGA website, the victory \u201chas earned Fox an exemption to next year\u2019s U.S. Open and British Open and a likely invitation to the 2013 Masters Tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n
