BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University men's golf team finished its second tournament of the 2019 fall season in ninth place at the 2019 William H. Tucker Tournament in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The three-day event was played on a par-72, 7,555-yard championship course.

Quotable
"I thought this week was another step in the right direction," said head coach Ryan Jamison. "This was by far the strongest field we have played in the last two years. This golf course exposes your weaknesses and makes you extremely vulnerable if you're not on your game. I thought our guys handled the conditions extremely well and I feel very good knowing that we got a lot of great reps and we will be a stronger team for having been trough this week. We look forward to heading to West Virginia on Saturday and having a great event."
