COACH KAYDEN'S TAKE
"We're excited to be back on the course competing against other teams. This tournament is full of quality talent with good teams from the Sun Belt, Conference USA and SoCon, so it will be a really good challenge for us to start the season. Our guys will play with confidence this week as they have put in a lot of effort to get ready.

"Playing at the Honors Course will be an incredible experience for our guys. It is one of the top courses in the region and has hosted a number of prestigious events. The course, which was designed by Pete Dye, will play fast and firm, making it critical for us to find the fairways."
