Post-Tournament Comments
Head Coach Ryan Murphy
On the tournament: This tournament and Minikahda Golf Club was a terrific test this week. The rough was up, the fairways and greens were firm and fast and we had significant wind. We obviously didn't have our best week, but it's one that will serve us going forward. This golf course set-up showed us where we are at the moment. It tested every part of their game. The goal now is simply to improve the areas we need to improve…each player, individually. I am confident this group will do just that.
