Coach Evan Spence's Thoughts:
 
"Frustrating week this week in Valdosta from an execution standpoint. We have some guys up and down the roster that are close to playing some really good golf but we just haven't put it all together as a team yet this spring. On a more positive note, it's been great to see Billy continue to get more and more comfortable in his skin as a freshman as he's been really solid for us so for this semester. Once we get a few more guys clicking alongside him we will be in a good spot."
