HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:
Head Men's Golf Ty Heimes on the two days:
"It was a good tournament for our guys," Heimes said. "I felt like we played pretty good the first 36 holes, but the scores just didn't really show it. The group is really competitive and wanted to move up the leaderboard in the final 18, which they did."
Heimes on getting prepared for the next event:
"We have a quick turnaround as we play on Monday and Tuesday," Heimes said. "We need to stay sharp and just keep getting better each day."
UP NEXT:
The Hawks will head to the Siouxland Invitational starting at 9 a.m. Monday at The Ridge Golf Club in Orange City, Iowa.
