QUOTES
Head Coach Matt Luther
- On the tournament:
"It will be similar course conditions but a very different layout than when we were in Jacksonville a couple of weeks ago for the First Coast Classic, which had a lot of water. Jacksonville Golf Club is just tight with a lot of trees. It's a different golf course, but tough and similar to what we just played at the Tchefuncta Invitational. It's somewhere we've been that, when we play well there we are good. So it's a good test for us to see where we're at in the spring."
