HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
“Rough day today. We just didn’t have any gas left in the tank. We started poorly and never really strung together many good holes until the end of the round.”
“We’ve had some really good rounds and tournaments this year – unfortunately this may have been our poorest performance. No excuses – we just didn’t have it this week.”
“The good news is that we have three weeks to prepare for the Southland Championships. We know exactly what we need to work on over the next three weeks, and I promise these guys will work their tails off.”
