"We're excited to be back at Solina this week. I thought this group looked very sharp at the end of qualifying and practice leading up to this week. Obviously, there are some good memories and some course knowledge here from SoCon's last spring.

Notes
- First entry in the event. LSU won last year's title at 35 under.
- Solina Golf Club was stingier in the spring for the SoCon Championships. The Mocs won with 5-under 847 as the program to shoot under par for the weekend.
- Three of five Mocs shot par or better at Solina in winning the 2026 SoCon crown. There were eight par or better 18s with seven under par and four in the 60s.
- The Mocs are 4 under as a team this season. Something to track as the program has never been below par over the course of a campaign. Rogers is 11 under with Braidech coming in at 4 under. The duo has par or better finishes in both of the opening events.
