The No. 9 ranked Gators head out for the third time of the 2011 fall season, when they take to the course for the SEC/PAC-12 Challenge this weekend. They are coming off of a 13th-place finish at the 2011 Mason Rudolph Fall Preview in Franklin, Tenn., where the team finished with a tournament score of 905 (+41).
The SEC/PAC-12 Challenge is a three-day event that will take place from Friday Oct. 21 until Sunday Oct. 23 at Holston Hills Country Club in Knoxville, Tennessee.
