Quotable
Heartbreaking loss today, but I’m filled with nothing but pride and gratitude for this team. These guys played amazing golf, improving each day and today was their best leaving it all in the course . It just didn’t go our way and that’s Golf and why we love it. We are a better team because of this challenge and I know we will use it as a springboard forward.
