A year ago, Champ put together one of best seasons in program history by maintaining a 71.50 scoring average during 34 rounds as a junior to garner third-team All-America honors from the Golf Coaches Association of America. He enjoyed one tournament title and five top-five finishes while posting a red-hot finish to the year with top-six finishes in five of his last seven events while also earning First Team All-SEC accolades.
