From the Clubhouse 
"It was a solid first event for us, said head coach John Powers.  "The course was a very difficult test of golf and it was great to have a couple outstanding rounds in our team scoring from Darin and Zander. We fought off some big numbers early and were able to grind out some depth scores when we needed it. "
