ROCKY FACE, Ga.---It was a frustrating day for the Chattanooga Mocs men's golf team. Well, more to the point, it was a frustrating finish.
"That's two days in a row," coach
Mark Guhne said. "Yesterday, we got off to a rough start, righted the ship and then stumbled at the end. Today, we were in good shape with a chance to make a move up the leaderboard and struggled to finish.
"We did a much better job limiting the big number. That's encouraging, but we need a complete round."
