Final Results
MELBOURNE, Fla.- The No.36 Kennesaw State women's golf team took home a ninth-place finish at the Moon Golf Invitational after the final round on Tuesday at the par-72, 6,309-yard Duran Golf Club in Melbourne, Fla.
"We have some definite work to do before we leave for our next event," head coach
Rhyll Brinsmead said. "We again showed our talent, as we had it 4-under par through 12 holes. The mistakes we made coming in cost us. It is not a fundamentals issue, it is poor course management and decision making. Madison's finish is again a testament to her hard work and commitment to the process. I am glad we have a quick turnaround to play again as we will not linger on this result, we will look ahead. In a field this strong, our result shows we belong among the best but have to play our own games and not be intimidated."
