Head Coach Gregg Burke Said…

It was great to see Brandon play as well as he did after being four over early but turn it around to go six under through the final 27 holes. In shooting the five under in the afternoon, he played just about as conservatively as you can. It was course management at its best.
Overall, it was as frustrating as it was rewarding. After eight or nine holes we were in 15th out of 15 teams and 14 shots out of the lead. As the day went on, especially the afternoon round, we rose to second and just four behind. But the final six holes were like the start and we gave it all back. We were six red at one point and finished plus two.
And where it appears that we had a tremendous comeback to move from 15th to second, I simply want the team to ask itself why were in 15th in the first place. Heroic comebacks to second or third place are not positives; they are indicative that some of us weren't ready to play when we first put the tee in the ground.
We are very strong in the top three slots with Bryson, Brandon, and Jordan but after that we have real questions. The top three shot four over and the next three were 29 over.
