Kennesaw State Head coach Jay Moseley reflected on the teams past wins and future hopes: "We are proud to have been able to beat so many quality teams. We are never on anyone's favored list but we use that to our advantage and play with a chip on our shoulder. We know what we can do and this is always our favorite tournament of the year, so we have good vibes coming to Haig Point."

Senior Ben Greene of Duluth, Ga is the top returning finisher for Kennesaw State from a year ago. He took second place overall last year with a total of 219, which put him at 3 over par. Sophomore Sean Kelly of Staten Island, N.Y., is the top returner for South Carolina from last year and finished third overall with a 220.

Jason Cherry, director of golf at Haig Point talked about the event and residents of Haig Point, "This event gives people in the Hilton Head area a chance to see some of the best college golfers in the country. It is wonderful to see how the tournament has grown and how challenging the course can be for these great golfers."

Haig Point's golf course debuted at 28^th in the country by Golf Digest and 68^th in the world by Golf Magazine when it was completed in 1986. It has since been re-modeled by the original architect Rees Jones, whom the tournament is named after.
