"While we are disappointed with the result this week, we took a lot of positive from this tournament. To finish third in stroke play and for Farah O'Keefe to be runner-up were both great accomplishments. The match play format of the SEC Championship will help prepare us for postseason and we learned some things this week we can use in the future. I'm proud of the way we continued to fight until the very end in our match against Arkansas. Overall I'm proud of this group and I'm looking forward to getting back at it in the NCAA regionals."
