Quotable
"We saw a lot of good. Cam had an awesome week while Evan played solid and Griffin had two really nice rounds over the final 36. I keep saying it, but we are really close to putting a full event together. It's coming soon. Now we get back to work and prepare for Bulls Bay" –
Coach Blaine Woodruff on this week's efforts
