St. Patrick’s Day was a lucky day for Grambling State University in Louisiana as they were presented with a $25,000 check on behalf of 2010 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Corey Pavin.

U.S. Ryder Cup Team members each received $50,000 to donate to colleges and universities of their choice to help support or start that school’s Play Golf America University program.
