''We played some great golf in the first two rounds,'' said Auburn head coach Kim Evans. ''We slipped a little in the final round, but we were able to do so well on Friday and Saturday, that the third round didn't hurt us at all. I am proud of this team. They continue to play well and show improvement, which is a great thing at this standpoint in the season going into the SEC Championship.'' <br>
