Head coach Rich Borman said he was pleasantly surprised with the team results, being that the team is inexperienced and the conditions were extremely difficult.
“Our putting is improving as is our short game around the greens, which helped our scoring. We have not had a bunch of time to practice as we have been limited by weather and been practicing a lot indoors. All the players see opportunities to really lower scores by focusing on our course management and shoring up some of the fundamentals, like alignment,” Borman said.
