ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – The Florida men's golf team concluded play at the SEC Championships today, moving up two spots on the leaderboard to finish T11 with Missouri.

After a tough weekend, the Gators were able to move up the leaderboard just enough to secure themselves an above .500 record for a spot in NCAA regional play. Sophomore John Axelsen had the highest finish for Florida after shooting a team-best 65 in his second round Saturday. He only had one birdie in his final round but still finished inside the top 20 at T16.
