Complete Results

RICHMOND, Ky. – It was not an ideal day for Mercer's men's golf team. Inclement weather forced a delay of over two hours to the start of the final round of the EKU Intercollegiate and when play did get started, the Bears' fortunes were as positive as the weather forecast as Mercer dropped six spots to finish 10th.

The inclement weather early on provided challenging course conditions as bunkers became washed out and greens could not get mowed prior to the start of play. Stanton Schorr's 2-over-par was the best round of the day for Mercer as he finished tied for 25^th overall alongside teammate Justin Connelly.

COACH KAYDEN'S TAKE
"We struggled today. We didn't have a lot of birdies and didn't create any shots down the stretch to improve our place and finish. We just had everybody play bad on the same day."

"We have to bounce back and have two weeks until Western Kentucky, which will have another good field on a good golf course. We need to go back to the drawing board and keep working at it. We have a bunch of young guys that are going to have to do that but I am sure they will."

NEXT UP
Mercer will compete at the Kenny Perry Invitational hosted by Western Kentucky University at The Club at Olde Stone in Bowling Green, Kentucky on Oct. 10-11.
