THOUGHTS FROM COACH BROWN: "The guys have been hard at work the last week and a half since Savannah in preparation for Myrtle Beach. We played this event a few years ago and are looking forward to the opportunity to compete again over our spring break. Everyone on the team will be competing, so this will give all of them a great chance to show where their games are at this point in the semester."
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Tech enters play after tying for the seventh at The Invitational at Savannah Harbor two weeks ago. Giles led Tech by tying for 14th in the event, posting a 217 which included a career-low 68 in the second round.
