Bulldogs in the Masters 2026: UGA Leads All Colleges with 4 Former Players in Final Round The University of Georgia (UGA) maintained its dominance in the Masters 2026 tournament, with four former Bulldogs advancing to the final round. The four players—Brian Harman, Russell Henley, Harris English, and Sepp Straka—entered the last day of competition with strong positions, showcasing the depth of talent produced by the program. UGA surpassed all other collegiate programs, outpacing Oklahoma State, which had three former players remaining in the field. Texas, North Carolina, Cal, UNLV, UCLA, and Wake Forest each had two former players in the tournament. Harman, a UGA graduate, began the tournament with a challenging performance, shooting a 79 on the first day and finishing 10 over par after a bogey at the fourth hole. However, he rebounded with a personal-best 67 on Saturday, moving to 10 shots lower than his opening round. Harman, who is currently 1 over par for the tournament, expressed confidence in his ability to contend despite the odds. “I believe in myself,” he said. “I know it’s always right around the corner. It’s hard to keep telling yourself that sometimes when you haven’t seen a lot of evidence, but I’ve got 15 years to show you that right around the corner is pretty good.” Henley, the current low Bulldog, delivered a standout performance with a career-best 65 on Saturday, placing him at 6-under 210. His round included 11 of 14 fairways and only 25 putts, avoiding a three-putt for the first time this week. “Super calm conditions, and I just felt like I hit my irons great and gave myself a lot of looks for birdie and had some good par saves. Extremely pleased,” Henley said. His strong showing positioned him as a strong contender for the honor of being the lowest-scoring Bulldog.#university_of_georgia #masters_2026 #brian_harman #russell_henley #harris_english
Savannah native Brian Harman and longtime caddy Scott Tway aim to bring success to Georgia at The Masters AUGUSTA, Ga. (WSAV) — The caddies at The Masters play a critical role in shaping a golfer’s strategy, from club selection to shot execution. For Savannah native Brian Harman, his partnership with caddy Scott Tway carries added significance beyond the sport. The duo, who have worked together since 2013, will make their eighth appearance at Augusta National Golf Club this week, hoping to replicate the success that brought Harman his 2023 Open Championship title. Harman and Tway’s relationship began during their college days, with Tway playing golf at Georgia Southern University. Both men share a deep connection to the state of Georgia, as Harman attended the University of Georgia. Tway’s influence has been instrumental in Harman’s career, particularly during pivotal moments such as the 2023 Open Championship. Harman recently reflected on their bond, emphasizing the trust and camaraderie that have defined their partnership over the years. “I think we’re the longest tenured couple on tour,” Harman said. “He’s a real foxhole guy; one you’d want to go to war with.” The phrase, referencing the shared hardships of military life, underscores the depth of their relationship. Tway has been a constant presence through Harman’s triumphs and challenges, offering guidance and support that has helped the golfer navigate the pressures of professional golf. Their partnership has endured through multiple seasons, with Harman and Tway now preparing for their eighth Masters tournament. The Masters, held annually at Augusta National, is one of the most prestigious events in golf, and Harman’s goal is to bring some of the magic from his 2023 Open win back to his home state.#university_of_georgia #masters_tournament #augusta_national_golf_club #brian_harman #scott_tway
