From the Coaches Eye – Hovland’s Analysis

“We battled a tough golf course in tough conditions and was able to finish in the top 10 against a lot of great teams. We need to do a better job of putting together three complete rounds to make the charge up to the Leaderboard that we need down the stretch, “got a good Coach Kelly Hovland. “I am optimistic about the final two tournaments, but we need to continue to work hard and be resilient. We have a few weeks to rest up, get healthy, and prepare for the opportunities ahead.”

Up Next

The Terrapins will return to the Fairways in just under three weeks on March 25th-27th at the Clemson Invitational on Lake Keowee in Clemson, SC.
