Final Results
CHOUDRANT, La. – The Kennesaw State men's golf team finished 16
th after the final round of the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate at Squire Creek Country Club on Tuesday.
"We are disappointed in the positional finish but looking at the scores we are not far off from a solid top five-10 finish in this event with just a few saved shots per day," head coach
Bryant Odom said. "We have plenty to learn from and also know that this team is much improved over last year in all aspects. We did not have anyone really step up and play well each day with a low score. Everyone on this team is capable of under par each day and they have proven it in qualifying and practice. There are lots of great things ahead for this team."
