Coach Evan Spence's Thoughts:
"Super proud of the effort from all 10 guys this week. It's not often you get the opportunity to get that many guys out there at once in the heat of competition and I'm thrilled we were able to make the most of that opportunity this week. The results from this week are certainly a testament to the depth of talent and ability on our roster this year. The guys on our A squad had some great stretches of golf throughout the week led by a great runner up finish from Drew but then looking at the B team we also had Matthew make an awesome run and tie Drew near the top of the board as well as some big rounds from the rest of those guys. I'm hopeful that this week will go a long way towards continuing to develop those guys while also giving our main lineup a good spark heading into our last two tournaments of the fall where we'll see some of the strongest fields of the year."
