Florida will now head into the off-season with their sights set on the spring season and improvement.
Head Coach JC Deacon’s Take
On the final round…
“Not a good final round for the Gators. We had some ice-cold putters and it crushed us. We have a talented team and our standards are the highest, we just have to be better and we will be.”
On the off-season…
“We’ve got a few months in great Florida weather to make the necessary corrections. This is a good golf team, I know it 100%. We are all ready to put in the necessary work this winter to ensure we make a bug run during our championship season in the spring.”
