The Gophers were National Champions in 2002 and won the Big 10 Championship three times under James leadership. From AP-
Minnesota golf coach Brad James resigned on Tuesday to take a position in his native Australia.
James is leaving to become the high performance director of Golf Australia and the Australian Institute of Sport. He will oversee the men’s and women’s national teams and also be responsible for developing the country’s young talent.
James has served as the Minnesota men’s coach since 2001 and has presided over both the men’s and women’s teams as the school’s director of golf for the past 2{ seasons.
He guided the men’s team to the 2002 NCAA championship and has four NCAA finals appearances on his resume.
James had a impressive record. Maybe former Minnesota gopher and 1996 British Open Champion Tom Lehman would be interested in replacing him.
