COACH KAYDEN'S TAKE
"I'm looking forward to a very competitive event at Auburn. There are many good teams that are going to force us to step up and play well. Our guys are going to have to play with confidence. A big key is to play the par 3's well. We need to be smart because a lot of the par 3's have water, so hitting the middle of the green on those holes will factor heavily into our success. I like the fact that we had three guys who played at this course last year in Tyler, Martin and Spencer. I'm looking forward to their leadership this week and looking forward to a good tournament. I'm confident our guys are coming into a good situation. We played pretty solid last week, and we're looking to build on that momentum."
