"W are really proud of Will Holan and how he has performed these past two events and earning all-tournament at the ASUN is fantastic.
"Jason had an off week with the putter and still managed to place around the the top 12 players in the field. Austin Aliff played well today. It was a team effort. We grew a lot this week and we are very excited about the coming season!"
