ANDERSON, SC--The body of work during his four year career at Anderson University ranks among the greats in the school's history, but for senior, and all-conference Trojan golfer, Adam Sheriff, there is still that chance to go out on a note not yet played, as he prepares to compete in the NCAA super-regional at Northern Alabama beginning on Monday, in an attempt to qualify for nationals for the first time since coming to AU. His accomplishments are many. Sheriff was named Conference Carolinas freshman of the year in 2005-2006. He was named 1st team all-conference 3 out of his 4 years, making the second team in 2006-2007. He finished just shy of player of the year honors as a finalist last year and then again this year. Sheriff holds the course record at Woodlake Golf Club in Tazewell, TN, with his -7, 64 that he shot in Lincoln Memorial's golf tournament last season. As the Trojans' #1 player since the very beginning of his freshman year, Sheriff has been Coach Danny Neal's anchor at that spot. While the Anderson native has been competitive in most every tournament that he has played in, Sheriff's memorable championship performances keep him in the conversation wherever he shows up. The only conference tournament Sheriff played in and did not make the all-tournament team with a top-12 finish was his freshman year. In 2006-2007, the sophomore finished in a tie for 7th; and his junior year, Sheriff posted a 54-hole score of even par, 213 to win his first conference title. This year, Sheriff led after day two, only to fall just two strokes short of his second straight title ending the tourney in a tie for 4th. "He always competes," said Trojan head coach Danny Neal. "Not enough can be said for Adam, he is always one of the top-ranked players in the region." That steady and consistent poise that Sheriff has demonstrated on and off the course since he came to Anderson University has led him to know that he can contend with anyone. "You're never out of it," said Sheriff. "Golf is so up and down, there is no need for me to be up and down too. "Once in high school, I opened a tournament with a 79 and I was in 24th place after day one; I knew the weather was going to be bad the next day, so I prepared myself, and shot 74--it was the low round of the day I moved into 3rd." Sheriff understands resiliency, but he also understands setting goals that are meaningful; the senior heads to the Robert Trent Jones Trail on the Tennessee River this weekend to take on a course called the Fighting Joe, which from the tips, plays a monstrous 8000 yards. Sheriff set as one of his goals early in his freshman year to qualify for the national championships before the end of his college career. It is not putting on himself that added pressure that becomes the most difficult task in preparing for this year's super-regional. "It would be great to make it to the national championship, but if I don't, it's not going to define my career here," said Sheriff. "What's most important is that I just pick my spots, and that I just play my game, and when I've done that, I have always been successful." Sheriff was among 32 individuals to qualify for the tournament, as the senior ranked as high as 12th this season in national scoring average. To go to nationals, Sheriff will be competing in a pool of 192 total golfers, but in the end, Sheriff will only be up against the Fighting Joe, and himself. The Fighting Joe, set along the bank of the Tennessee River. #5 at Tanglewood in Clemmons, NC, Conference Carolinas Championship. Sheriff would make par on this 172 yard par 3 en route to his day two -2, 68. Sheriff taps in for a par on #15 at Tanglewood. Sheriff's center-cut tee shot on #16 on day two at Tanglewood.
