29 All-America Classic Alumni to Compete at the Masters April 9, 2014

Twenty-nine of the 97 golfers competing at this week’s Masters Tournament have made the trip to El Paso to take part in the Sun Bowl Western Refining College All-America Golf Classic. Three of the All-America alumni taking Augusta National Golf Course have already earned their green jacket. Craig Stadler and Mark O’Meara won the event in 1982 and 1998, respectively; Phil Mickelson claimed Masters’ titles in 2004, 2006 and 2010.

At 60 years of age, Stadler is the oldest All-America alum to compete at the 2014 Masters. He competed in the inaugural All-America Classic in 1974. The youngest All-America alum taking the big stage in Georgia tomorrow comes from the latest group of All-Americans to visit the Sun City. Oklahoma State sophomore Jordan Niebrugge is one of the youngest competitors this week.
