Courtney stepped up and came through for us. She played well. |
Hickory Ridge is a difficult golf course. If you don't hit the ball in the fairway, you can get in a lot of trouble. Our girls did a great job dealing with its small greens and rolling fairways. |
I sure don't see it and I don't really feel it either and I don't think they do. It's like you go out to play golf that day, expect to do your best, gut it out, play as hard as you can and see where the chips fall. I think that's the mindset they've had from day one and they're just keeping that same focus. |
I tell you what, I was real happy to see Jessica come back after that front nine. That back nine was tough. It has a lot of blind shots and a lot of trouble. So for her to come back with a 37 on that nine, that's great. |
I?m very pleased how the girls played today. I?m excited for the whole team. |
I'm real proud of how well the girls responded. Playing without Marissa and playing in rainy, windy conditions, the girls came through. |

It's nice to get off to a good start. The girls have come right out and played well. We hope to keep it rolling. |
It's probably going to be wet and windy out there Monday, so the course definitely won't get any easier. We're going to have to bear down and play well. It's going to be another tough test. |
She had a very nice round. She's been very consistent in our two outings so far this season. She shot a 76 at the Alton tournament over the weekend and now a 36 in our first dual matches. She's on her game. |
She remembered to play her own game and not focus on what she needs to shoot. She's played with these girls before and I'm glad that she focused on her game. |
The course was playing difficult, that's why the scores are a little higher. That back nine is difficult. It's tight and there are a lot of hazards, so if you're not right on, you can get in trouble in a hurry. I'm not saying the front nine was easy, but that back-nine was a monster. |
The girls weren't real pleased with the scores, but a lot of that is that they expect to shoot so well each time out. But I'm real proud of them for sticking it out on a very difficult course. You never know with golf what that particular day is going to bring. |
The last tournament we had three scores in the 70s and now we've got four scores in the 70s and Whitney Shaw with that 83. She had her best round yet. I tell you I couldn't be happier. This is what we need to do right now. |
The whole team did very well as a group. |
