Mercer Returns to the Coast for Palmetto Intercollegiate

MACON, Ga. – Mercer will head back to the east coast as the Bears will tee off at the Palmetto Intercollegiate starting Sunday against a formidable field of 20 teams at the Kiawah Island Resort in South Carolina.

The Bears, which opened the year on the east coast at the Golfweek Program Challenge in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, returns to the Atlantic coast for the second time this season in search a second consecutive top-five finish. Mercer finished tied for fifth in its last tournament, the Missouri-hosted Johnie Imes Invitational, but that was back on Oct. 3-4.

The Palmetto Intercollegiate has witnessed its fair share of success for Southern Conference teams. Furman won last year's tournament title shooting a three-round 875 (+11) followed by runner-up Chattanooga (+18).
