“We just spotted them too many shots in the first round,” said Head Coach Mark Guhne. “It was tied going into the final few holes, but we couldn't close the door. I liked the way we responded to a rough start.”
Junior Ben Rickett led the way for the Mocs with a final round 69 (-3), finishing tied for fifth at 219 (+3). Fellow junior Jonathan Hodge tied Rickett by shooting a 71 (-1).
Sophomores Fredrik Qvicker and J.T. Clendenin each shot 72 (E), with Qvicker finishing tied for eighth at 220 (+4). Fellow sophomores Derek Rende carded a 75 (+3), which placed him in 11th overall at 222 (+6). Clendenin completed the tourney tied for 24th with a total of 227 (+11).
