                HONORING OUTSTANDING ATHLETE STEVEN FOX

  (Mr. FLEISCHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an outstanding 
student athlete from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. 
Competing at the U.S. Amateur Championship in Colorado, UTC student 
Steven Fox came from behind to win the first USGA Championship for the 
University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
  Down by two holes on the par 5 17th hole, Steven made a clutch birdie 
and managed to make a great par on the final hole, putting the match 
into sudden death after 36 grueling holes. At the first playoff hole, 
Steven sank a critical 18-foot putt to secure his victory. Steven's 
victory is an inspiration to the entire UTC community and, indeed, to 
all Tennesseans.
  No mention of this victory is complete without mentioning the great 
UTC golf team, which has achieved national success under the leadership 
of Coach Mark Guhne. Thanks to his hard work and the support of former 
Athletic Director Steve Sloan and Chancellor Roger Brown, UTC qualified 
for this past year's NCAA championship in Los Angeles.
  On behalf of all east Tennesseans, I extend my congratulations to 
Steven Fox. I look forward to watching him roam the fairways at Augusta 
National soon. I also look forward to many future successes at UTC.
  Go Mocs!
