On the Longhorn Invitational: I thought it was a great event. We had some inclement weather that we had to deal with and it was a little bit cooler than what we are accustomed to, but we had a great field. There were players here from all over the country, representing some teams we don't see very often. Our guys played a lot of great matches against quality competition, which is the purpose of these fall tournaments. Our guys overall competed really well, and I was pleased with the way things turned out.
On individual performances: I thought Johnny (Goodwin) did a nice job. He looked good today until it rained. Colin (Markes) and Chih Chi (Huang) each won three singles matches. Rodrigo (Banzer) unfortunately got hurt and had to retire. We need to get him healthy, but he played great in his first match. I saw a lot of positives out of those guys.
