AuburnTigers.com AUBURN, Ala - At the time, it was a real pain in the hip for Auburn golfer Michael Johnson.
In the summer of 2013, while playing in the Porter Cup in Niagara Falls, NY, before his junior season, Johnson knew something wasn’t quite right with his left hip.
He came back to Auburn, where the injury was diagnosed as bursitis, inflammation that’s treated by rest.
Michael had a choice: sit out in the fall while recovering, then play in the spring, or take a redshirt season.
He chose the latter, a decision that paid off handsomely for Michael and for Auburn.
