COMPLETE RESULTS

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Marin Hanna carded a team-best 3-over-par 75 Tuesday as Mercer finished ninth overall at the 20-team Palmetto Intercollegiate on the Turtle Point Golf Course at the Kiawah Island Resort.

Hanna, a day removed from hitting a hole-in-one, continued to lead the Bears on the course. The senior remained undeterred on the course, despite landing one shot on the green next to a snake. Hannah Mae Deems, buoyed off back-to-back even-par rounds to open the tournament, was the top individual on the leaderboard for Mercer as she tied for eighth.
