COACH KAYDEN'S TAKE
"We improved our team score by six today, but it's still not good enough for this week. We're not quite executing the shots we need to execute on this tough course. Our bad shots are getting exaggerated by finding the water, and we're just not quite sharp enough this week. We need to figure out how to change that quickly. The positive is that some guys made some birdies at the end to help our team score a little bit, but we're not where we need to be. Tyler [Copp] finished his round strong with birdies on two of the last three holes which was good to see.

"We need to make some improvements and adjustments in tomorrow's final round and play the par 3's much smarter. We need to make some more birdies on the par 5's. Overall, we need a better team effort tomorrow if we want a chance at moving up."

Up Next
Mercer concludes the Tiger Invitational on Tuesday as the Bears will tee off with Kennesaw State and Austin Peay from 9:39-10:15 a.m.
