COACH ADAMS ON THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT
"Not the finish we wanted as a team this week, but a great golf course to compete on," head coach Chris Adams said. " Good top 10 finishes for Matty and Caroline this week, and Molly was right up there as well. Also some other great stretches of golf for the others. We know what we need to is to keep getting better. We have just a couple days now to get ready for our last event at Olde Stone."
