Final Results
PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. – The Kennesaw State men's golf team finished ninth at the Golfweek Fall Intercollegiate at True Blue Golf Club.
"I am proud of the fight and effort the guys showed today," head coach
Bryant Odom said. "We did not have our best stuff on the greens this week but everybody impressed at various stages. Brock was solid every day. Although he got off to a bad start today, he fought like a champ to get himself back in the mix. Taka was excellent over the last two rounds and closed it out with a bang holing out from the fairway on 18 today. We have a few things to clean up but I am encouraged by the play of the guys in our first event of the year. "
