COACH PAYNE'S THOUGHTS:
"We are honored to host such an event at such an amazing course. We couldn't achieve the final result we set out for, but I know what this team is capable of achieving," head coach Payne said. "We had a solid couple of first round performances and Jonsson was able to finish strong on the third day. With that being said, this team continues to fight hard no matter where we play. We are able put together some nice rounds when we need them, but we need to be able to come together as a team and finish stronger as one. Jonsson continues to do more than anybody could ask and I think that really motivates the rest of the team to play their best every time we reach that first tee."

UP NEXT:
Mercer will return to action on Saturday, April 2nd as they set out to compete in the the Augusta Haskins Award Invitational. The two-day and 54-hole event will be hosted in Augusta, Ga. at the Forest Hills Golf Club.
