Post-Tournament Comments

Head Coach John Fields

Pumpkin Ridge is another fine course in our schedule. We are continuing to find balance with our guys. No question this team will win, likely multiple times this year. Having said that, we didn't have our best this week. Doug Ghim's 67 today was more like the golf he can play. Collectively, there is better golf ahead.
