Thoughts from head coach Matt Rachey after the first two rounds of the season
"The first tournament of day of the season is always exciting. It was a tale of two different rounds. We got off to a great start this morning with a -3 team round of 285. The afternoon was rocky and a great learning opportunity in the wind. The guys fought hard all day and are well positioned for a strong finish tomorrow."
