Post-Tournament Comments

Head Coach Ryan Murphy

On Schubert's finish: Sophia had a great week. Tee-to-green, she was outstanding with her ball striking and was also very sharp with her chipping and sand play. She played well today having been sitting on the 36-hole lead…she just needed a couple more putts to drop and she wins. Sophia's overall game looked terrific this week and I'm very proud of her effort.

On the team's effort: I thought it was very solid. With one round to play, we were in position to win. That's what you want as a coach and then it's all about executing on that final round. Today the pins were more difficult, the wind shifted and the course played tougher. It yielded only two rounds in the 60s. When that's the case, the player has to recognize that pars, in several places, is a good score. And above everything else, the player needs to be very present in order to produce whatever their best score is that day. It's an area that we need to continue to work on.
