The Tigers played in their first tournament of the year at Wildkat Golf Course at the University of Kentucky starting Sept. 8. The inexperienced lineup proved to be influenced by nerves in their play when they finished 11th out of 17 teams. The team was doing well during the first round Saturday, but anxiety affected their performance on Sunday.
"It was an up and down tournament," Lazar said. "Even though we did not finish well, I saw enough to keep me optimistic about the season. Going forward, we will improve."
For some players, this tournament was the first one of their college careers. Although the team was not able to execute as a group, Head Coach Vince Lazar thought the team did an excellent job of preparing and understanding the course prior to the tournament.
