“Our talent came out in spurts, but the course provided challenges for the entire field, including world-ranked amateur golfers,” Head Coach Dr. Gary Grandison said. “I am hopeful that our young guns are inspired by the experience and are ready to mature.”
The Hornets will be back in action Oct. 2-4 when they play at the Skyhawk Fall Classic in Paris Landing, Tenn. The Invitational is hosted by Tennessee-Martin.
