COACH KAYDEN'S TAKE
"We are fortunate to be a part of the field playing at Inverness, which is a place with a rich tradition and has hosted many major championships," said head coach Kirk Kayden. "This is a very strong field and I'm confident our guys will be prepared to play.
"We are coming off a solid performance and look to build upon that. We'll have to have a very good practice round, as Inverness is a true test of golf. The greens will be fast and the rough will be high; we'll have to manage those parts of the course well."
