QUOTES
Head Coach Jamie Bermel
Q: What was Charlie Hillier doing well today that you saw?
A: Charlie was solid today. His only bogey of the day was a shot hit with the wrong club. He played like a senior today.
Q: What could you guys do better to shave a couple strokes in order to secure first place before the final round on Tuesday?
A: I thought we were a little sloppy on a few holes, but overall a good start to the tournament and hopefully we keep getting better each day.
Q: Any other comments on what you saw today from your guys?
A: I thought Andy (Spencer) played well coming off a disappointing performance in the last event and Harry (Hillier) played fairly steady.
