Coach Evan Spence's Thoughts:
"Really proud of the way Billy competed this week. He ball struck it exceptionally well but didn't always have his best stuff around the greens but battled through that nicely and ultimately was able to come out with his first individual victory. He's got so much talent and I'm sure there will be more of these in the future for him but that first one is always special.
 
As for the rest of the guys, we've got a lot of work to do. Played some really sloppy stretches of golf this week that we're going to have to clean up before we head down to Innisbrook in a couple of weeks. We've got a great group of guys but just need to get better so we will look to do that over the next week before we hit the road again."
