Graeme McDowell In February 2011, former Blazer Graeme McDowell returned to his old stomping grounds for the first time since he captured the 2010 U.S. Open championship at Pebble Beach, led the European team to the Ryder Cup title, and was selected as the Player of the Year by the Golf Writers Association of America. McDowell came back to Birmingham to visit with his former coach Alan Kaufman, catch up with some of his old teammates, and give a few pointers to the 2010-11 UAB men’s golf team.
