PALO ALTO, Calif. (SMU) - The No. 31 SMU men's golf team finished 11th at The Goodwin Saturday, at the Stanford University golf course.

"We are disappointed as a group with our finish," SMU head coach Jason Enloe said. "Gray [Townsend] was the only guy who played up to his potential this weekend."
