ROCHESTER, Michigan - Sean Burgess will join the Oakland men's golf program for the 2014-15 season, announced head coach Russ Cunningham. 
Burgess, a native of Nairn, Scotland, led South Mountain Community College to a national championship in 2013.

Burgess shot 8-over-par at the NJCAA Division II national championship as the Cougars finished at 13-under-par to capture the title by 29 shots. He garnered Ping All-America Honorable Mention honors as a sophomore.
