MACON, Ga. – Keep the mojo going. That's the approach Mercer's men's golf program is taking as it heads to the EKU Intercollegiate in Kentucky just days after an impressive 20-under-par performance and top-five finish at the Golfweek Program Challenge in South Carolina.

The turnaround will only be a few days but a more opportunistic field and a course with a design that will complement the Bears well awaits Mercer in Richmond, Kentucky beginning Saturday in the two-day, three-round, 36-hole tournament.

COACH KAYDEN'S TAKE
"The guys are well prepared to play this week. We are coming off a solid start to the season and looking forward to another opportunity to prove ourselves on a great golf course. I am excited to see our guys perform on the bent grass greens and fairways this course will provide. I think it will fit our eye well and our guys will like the course."
