"I was proud of how our guys hung in there and battled all tournament long," The Knowles Family Director of Men's Golf Conrad Ray said. "Yesterday (Saturday) was one of the toughest college golf days I've had in my career, weather-wise, so I was proud of our guys and the fact that we had a chance to contend today. We definitely have some work to do, but I like what I'm seeing from a very balanced group. It was great to see Nate Menon and Ethan Ng collect top 25 finishes this weekend."
