Gators Wrap Play at Stanford’s The Goodwin

PALO ALTO, Calif. – The Florida Gators men's golf team closed out The Goodwin tournament today at Stanford Golf Course.

After starting the day in the sixth spot on the board, the Gators were cursed by bogeys and some unfortunate triple bogeys that slid them down to finish at 15 in the field of 27. Sophomore Chris Nido remained the highest finisher for the Gators despite carding his highest round of the weekend.

Senior Gordon Neale wasn't far behind Nido, finishing just one stroke back from him and in a tie for 29. Junior Blake Dyer continued his jump up the leaderboard, moving up another nine spots after yesterday's jump of 36. Dyer had his second best round of the tournament on the final day today.

Coach's Take
"We did some good things this week to get ourselves in a competitive spot coming into today. We've had trouble closing all season and it was especially tough today. It's do or die for this team right now. We have the ability to be competitive, we just need to step up. We work way too hard to have this type of result." – Head Coach JC Deacon
