Quotable from Coach Carter Collins
"It was a tough day on a tough course, and we have a lot to learn from today. I'm looking forward to seeing how we respond tomorrow, and I definitely believe our best golf is right around the corner."
"One of our freshman,
Ben Carr, continued his solid play from the fall and
Steven Fisk had a very solid day as well. It will take a team effort to move up the board but that what's we are going to do, GATA!"
Next up
The Eagles play the third and final round of the SunTrust Gator Invitational tomorrow. GS is paired with Mississippi State and Princeton and tee off the 10th hole at 8:45 a.m.
