TEXAS A&M QUOTES
Head Coach Brian Kortan
On the message to the team heading into the final round of a talent-laden tournament…
"The message will be to stick to doing what we're doing. The golf course challenges you from the first tee ball to the last putt. We have to be patient and disciplined. We have to fight our tail off and know that these are the kind of tournaments and golf courses that make you better. So embrace that, fight for it and give it all you got tomorrow."
On Jaime Montojo's tournament adding to his recent string of strong performances…
"Jaime put another good round together. He'd be the first to tell you he's a little disappointed in the way he putted today. He left a few shots out there, but in general he's really played solid to the green. He's given himself a lot of opportunities to put a good score on the card and that's what you lean on your seniors for, so we're grateful for that. I look forward to seeing what he does tomorrow."
