Coaches Corner: "Obviously a little bit of a bittersweet week. We would love to be here as a team and still bummed about missing by just a few spots, especially with the memories we made at this place two years ago. But we're really excited to be out here with Cam and for the opportunity he has ahead of him. He's been a rock for us all year long and to see him grow from someone who maybe wasn't quite sure if they were good enough to win in college to winning twice in addition to a bunch of other solid finishes, he really earned this. I know he's going to give it all he's got this week." –
Coach Blaine Woodruff
