Pro golf can wait: Stewart eyes Walker Cup spot after stellar senior year
Vanderbilt's Hunter Stewart ( Tracy Wilcox )Hunter Stewart remembers the first time he met Scott Limbaugh.
It was at the 2009 Kentucky Boys State Golf Tournament at Bowling Green Country Club. Stewart was a junior at Lexington Christian Academy and Limbaugh was an assistant at Alabama recruiting another top high school junior, Justin Thomas.
“He was wearing just typical Alabama gear,” Stewart said with a smile. “He just got right up in our business. I was like, ‘Who is this guy?’ He’s literally standing like 3 yards away from me and I was like, ‘Dude, I’m trying to hit.’
“I remember trying to contact him after that to see if they had any interest at all.”
