Coach Kayden's Take
"The guys were much improved today with a two-over-par team score in the final round in Greensboro," said head coach Kirk Kayden. "We dealt with a lot of wind and tough pin placements, so it was encouraging to see our guys battle through those elements and play a strong round.

"We had the fifth-best score of the day and moved up a couple spots. A few guys came through down the stretch for us as well."

Up Next
