TEXAS A&M QUOTES
Head Coach Brian Kortan
On the tournament...
"We saw more good than bad from this week. We had several guys play two really good rounds, but we nead more of a complete tournament to finish at the top."
On Saturday's round...
"Today was a good fight all day. We started poorly and clawed our way back to a good finish. Phichaksn (Maichon) and Aaron (Pounds) put really good rounds together. However, it takes four rounds for a great score. I know this group won't settle for playing well and they will get to work preparing for a qualifier and our next event in Las Vegas."
