QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH ERIKA BRENNAN
“Today was a solid start in windy conditions and we are pleased with the grit in this team. We leaked oil down the stretch and tomorrow we will need to fight to close out our rounds.
KT (Karoline Tuttle) was so solid today start to finish and it was a nice exclamation point for her to go bogey free.
With the adversity this team has faced this week we are immeasurably proud of how mature they are – there are so many good things happening and we’re ready to get back out there tomorrow.”
