Quotables from Coach Carter Collins
"Hats off to Patrick Reinhardt, the Golf Course Superintendent, and his staff who got this course tournament ready in a really short amount of time."
"Most of the courses we go to, course knowledge helps you with reading putts and that kind of stuff, but here, being confident in what you need to hit off the tee really opens up the rest of the golf course. The guys were really prepared in that area. We've still got a mountain to climb tomorrow, but we've put ourselves in a good position."
"Jake's (Maples) track record at this golf course has been really good, but his overall track record since he's come to Georgia Southern has been very good. He's an awesome player, and we're very thankful he came back for his fifth year of eligibility. We're proud of how he has competed all year and definitely this week."
