What They Are Saying
 
Wingate head men's golf coach JD Lamm
 
"I believe we are definitely headed in the right direction. We had a solid finish…and I saw many good things on the course this week. We had four players shoot an under-par round, so this is a sign we are getting better. I am looking forward to how we perform the rest of the fall."
 
Wingate sophomore student-athlete Colin Dutton
 
"The team showed a lot of potential in the last few days. We proved that any guy from top to bottom can go out there and post a good number. We obviously were hoping to bring back some hardware to Wingate, but we did well overall. We have a lot of positives to build on…and we are going to continue to work hard to prepare for Irish Creek."

"I was proud of myself for playing well the first day and having a chance to win individually. I was somewhat upset with my third-round score, but I learned a lot from it. We will be back bigger and better for our next tournament."
