TEXAS A&M QUOTES
Head Coach Brian Kortan
On Sunday's round...
"It's good see Roddy (Daniel Rodrigues) and P (Phichaksn Maichon) play really well. We just need to have five guys playing well and we haven't had that this year where we've got five good scores on the board. So we've got some guys that are playing well and we're doing some good things, but we're not doing great in the team golf aspect of getting four quality scores on the board each round."
On the busy month for the Aggies...
"It's been a busy month and we played against some fantastic fields. We've played a lot of top 25 teams each weekend, so it gives us a good picture of what we need to work on. We knew going in that we had some growth we need to go through. We'll get back to work and get ready to go have a strong finish to the fall next week at Furman."
