"Awesome job by the guys today, sleeping on a lead and then going out and increasing it," Eastern Florida State College men's golf coach Jamie Howell said. "Super play by Brad winning for the second time this year and Mathieu backs up his win at the Titan Winter Invitational with a tie for second here."
