What They Are Saying
Wingate head men's golf coach JD Lamm
 
"It was a fun week to play a great course in Florida and get some great preparation for our next two tournaments. It was even better to get a team win and see some great individual performances on a tricky course. I'm proud of the hard work the guys have put in so far this semester, but we know we need to improve and go low next week at Lander's event."

Wingate returns to action Monday and Tuesday, competing in Lander University's Bearcat Fall Classic. The 54-hole event will be played on the The Preserve at Verdae layout in Greenville, South Carolina.
