HEAD COACH RYAN MURPHY
"It was a tough week for us here in South Carolina. Long Cove is a Pete Dye golf course that holds you accountable in every facet of the game. It is truly a test and, whatever your weakness is, it likely will be revealed here. Although we did not finish where we wanted, this tournament will certainly serve as a learning experience. The team is not happy at the moment but we are planning to tighten things up and get into our best form for April and May."
UP NEXT
Texas returns to action March 20-22 when it travels to Athens, Ga., to compete in the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic hosted by the University of Georgia.
