BIRMINGHAM- The Millsaps Majors men's golf team had the final round of the SAA championships washed out due to rain.
Some teams were forced to complete their second rounds early Sunday morning after the second round was suspended due to darkness.
"We got off to a great start in the second round. All of our guys were between even and two over par through the first eight holes, which we very pleased with," coach Eddie Brescher said.
"Then we started to make some sloppy mistakes, but bounced back to finish up on a positive note. We had some great stretches of holes in our round, but we did not continue it through to the finish."
Round two saw the Majors Ryan Henry lead the way with a round of 78. He finished in a tie for 14th overall. Lewis Peters shot a 79 in round two and finished in a tie for 17th. Chris Patton was the model of consistency, firing a 79 in both rounds and tied for 22nd.
The Majors were one of the teams greatly affected by the cancellation of the third round.
"Coming into this event we needed to play good to move on to post season play. We had some great momentum from the way we played at our last tournament but we did not capitalize on that," Brescher said.
"We were hoping for a break in the weather for the final round so we could make a move up the leaderboard. Unfortunately, the final round was rained out and we were unable to finish."
The Majors as a team finished in fifth overall and did not qualify for the postseason. Coach Brescher and the team are optimistic about the 2013-14 campaign.
"Even though we did not finish the year the way we wanted to, our guys accomplished a lot this season. We have all of our starters returning for next year and we look to make some noise when we return for next season," Brescher said.
