Tuscaloosa native and former Alabama golfer Dicky Pride made the absolute most of his appearance at the 2021 Mitsubishi Electric over the weekend at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth, Ga. 

Pride didn't qualify for the event until last Monday and then ended up shooting 11-under par after three rounds to win his first PGA Champions Tour event ever. On Sunday, he shot a 67 to finish the round 5-under par to secure the three-stroke victory. 

He is only the 18th player ever to win at least once on the PGA Tour, PGA Champions Tour and Korn Ferry Tour. Pride's efforts has won him the honor of being called the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Pro Athlete of the Week.
