QUOTES FROM COACH
Comments From Coach Jim McGrew:
"It's always nice to find a way to win especially against an outstanding field on a championship golf course. The three rounds were like riding a roller coaster, lots of highs and lows, but we found a way to get the job done."

"We definitely have somethings that were exposed that we have to work on, but that is why we travel to play many different types of golf courses."

"Congratulations to Sydney and Mailey for top-5 finishes."

"We have two weeks to prepare for the national championship preview."

UP NEXT
#2 Dalton State hits the course again on October 11 & 12 when they travel to Oklahoma City, Okla. for the Sydney Cox Invitational at Lincoln Park Golf Course.
