CATCHING UP WITH COACH KENNEDY:
"This was the week we needed to keep pursuing our team goals. We played a major championship course with great patience and let results fall into place. It was a great group effort from all 5 guys. We battled tough stretches with great comebacks to hang with and beat the best teams in the country. We will continue to compete and prepare for our final event in a few weeks but we will enjoy this week for a few days." 
 
UP NEXT:
USF will close out their regular season schedule in two weeks at the El Macero Classic at El Macero Country Club in Davis from Friday. Arp. 14 through Saturday, Apr. 16. Live results of the tournament will be available via the team's schedule page.
