“Hailee [Cooper] once again had a great week,” coach Gerrod Chadwell told 12thMan.com. “Team-wise, we are a little disappointed. We made too many bogeys and missed on some very controllable things. Overall, we had a great regular season and finished outside of the top five only once. We have a lot of motivation heading into the SEC Championship next week.”
The Aggies are gearing up and will return to the green at the SEC Championship in Birmingham, Alabama on April 13-15.
