“This week was not our best golf,” commented head men's golf coach Jim Anderson, “but it will help our team as we continue learning from mistakes. Very often, golf is not about the good shots because everyone's good ones are in the right spot. It's important to put the ball in good places even when you are not executing. We will see similar course set ups with fast greens and we will can use this tournament to learn how to manage our games better.”
Redshirt Sophomore Jake Kreuz finished play tied for 78th with a score of 238 (+22). Competing as an individual, Redshirt Freshman Andrew Garner notched a 235 (+19) to tie him for 67th place.
