Howard University golf is back on the map and Gregory Odom Jr. is making the most of the opportunity.

With the strong financial help of basketball star Steph Curry, the MEAC school in Washington has revived golf after a decades-long absence.

Curry has agreed to fund the program for six years.

This past spring, Odom, a rising senior at Howard, took medalist honors in the Division I level of the PGA

WORKS Collegiate Challenge at Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Playing on the famed TPC Sawgrass course, Odom shot 71-75-74 for a 4-over 220. Howard University finished fourth overall in an event featuring HBCUs.

Odom, 20, is a native of Memphis and transferred to Howard from the University of Memphis.
