TOP QUOTES
"Obviously, we are disappointed," head coach Mike McGraw said. "We had much greater expectations for this week than a seventh-place finish, so from that standpoint we are disappointed. Kyle was really, really good the last two rounds. He could have shot even lower. I thought we had a little bit better performance today. If we had that same performance all four days, then we would have finished about third, so today was better for sure. We have a few things ahead of us, one of which is we have to get prepared for finals. The kids are going to be practicing on their own a little bit to be able to study and manage both. We just have to perform better is all. We just have to get off to a better start. We have a lot of things we need to work on, but I don't think it's time to push the panic button. We have played a lot of good golf so far this season, it's mainly just getting ourselves back up on our feet and moving forward."
