Auburn men's golf won its first SEC Championship since 2002 on a walk-off putt against Alabama on the 18th hole.

Freshman Wells Padgett made a 20-foot putt to clinch his point and a 3-2 win in the conference championship for the Tigers on St. Simons Island, Georgia on Sunday.

"That was the biggest putt I've ever made in my life," Padgett said. "It was great being able to do it for my team. To do it as an individual in a tournament is cool, but doing it for your team is the greatest feeling."

Congratulations to @AuburnMGolf on their @SEC title over Alabama.

Padgett and Alabama's Jonathan Hardee were even heading into the final hole and the freshman made the long putt to give Auburn the league title.

"It was a tough match out there," Auburn coach Nick Clinard said. "Alabama is great. We just fought to the end. My anchor, Wells Padgett, was the anchor all week in match play. We had him in that hole because we knew his confidence level in that spot and we knew that he could come through in the clutch and, boy, did he ever."

The Tigers clinched an automatic berth into the NCAA Regionals and will find out where they're headed during the 2018 selection show at 4:30 p.m. CT Wednesday on The Golf Channel.
