It's really tough. I'll just have to hit it straighter. I'm not worried about the 6,800 yards (length of the course). There's not much rough there and then come the trees. That's what I'm worried about.

We have a lot of character on our team. What we pride ourselves on is being tough. I'm not worried about us bouncing back. We'll get this out of our system tonight.

Courses are not getting any shorter. I could not hit the ball an average of 279, 280 (yards) and compete out here still. I needed to get eight to 10 more yards somehow. It makes a big difference.

We're a tough team. We're not afraid of anybody. We're not worried about how young or inexperienced we are. We're trying to do things in practice and trying to listen to Coach Williams. And we feel like if we do those things, if we come out and just leave it on the floor, we can compete with anybody.

I give St. Xavier credit for not quitting. They hit the tough shots at the end.

It was from 111 yards. I hit it 112. It spun back and disappeared. It was lucky really but it was a good boost for me.
