QUOTED
Head Coach Ben Hannan
"We showed a great display of golf through rounds 1 and 2 in a competitive field on a championship golf course. Today wasn't our day and we couldn't capitalize on our good start to the tournament, however plenty of positives and lots to build on as we prepare for the SBC championship in a couple of weeks.
Hugo had another solid individual performance this week. A little different for him, as he battled well and showed his experience as a senior in round 1 and 2, by keeping himself in the game while not playing his best. Then capped off his tournament today with an impressive -4 while the golf course was set up the toughest it has been all week. It was one of the best rounds of the day and helped the team a ton."
