HEAD COACH WILL BREWER
"Not our best stuff this week, but I'm proud of the fight and resolve in this team!," said Brewer. "We closed the gap the last nine holes and had the opportunity to win. Any time your entire team is not having its best stuff and you finish one stroke back, you have to recognize the good in the loss.
Will Holan stood tall, closing with a (-3) 69!
Austin Aliff had a good week as well as Gregor McKenzi."
