QUOTES & NOTES
"We knew going into this event that the golf course is a great test that demands patience and that rewards smart, disciplined shot-making. You really need to go in with the right mindset and a solid game plan and then execute on all the small details in order to have success. As a young team, I think we lost sight of that at times out there, even though the guys all certainly fought hard. We need to take this as an opportunity to learn and improve as we look to get things right back on track heading into our next event up in Lake Placid." – Rider Head Coach Jesse Neider
