What They Are Saying
 
Wingate head women's golf coach JD Lamm
 
"Obviously, we would have loved to finish higher on the leader board, but this is a very good result for us. Hailey McLaughlin finished strong today, maintaining her composure to par the final two holes after recording a double-bogey on the 16th hole. We are super proud for her as she posted a very good round. This tournament was good preparation for the Rollins Legend Invitational next week."
 
Wingate senior student-athlete Hailey McLaughlin
 
"It was a tough week. The wind was blowing, the greens were quick and undulating and the pins were in tough spots. I was definitely tested out there, but by keeping a good mindset and taking it one shot at a time, I managed to pull through with an overall solid tournament."
