Coach Kayden's Take
"We didn't play up to the expectations of this golf program today," said head coach Kirk Kayden. "There were simply too many mistakes that resulted in a poor team score. Unfortunately we only had one good round of the board with Stanton [Schorr's] even par.
"The biggest thing is for us to move on from it and try to finish strong in tomorrow's round. There is still a chance to beat a handful of quality teams in this tournament.
Tuesday's Tee Times/Pairings
Mercer is paired with Charlotte (+14) and Michigan (+24) for Tuesday's final round. All Bears will tee off from No. 10.
