Former Nebraska men's golfer Brandon Crick has received a sponsor's exemption to compete in the Nationwide Tour's Cox Classic in Omaha, July 29-Aug. 1.
The Cox Classic at Champions Run will be the pro debut for the 2009 Nebraska Amateur of the Year, unless he first qualifies for the U.S. Open in mid-June, which he will attempt to do at sectional qualifying on June 7.
Crick averaged 72.23 strokes for the Big Red this season and tied for eighth at the NCAA West Regional.
