COACH KAYDEN'S TAKE
"We didn't get the results we were looking for, as our goal is to always be under par as a team. We had to play through some tough conditions today, but everyone had to play in it. I am really proud of Tyler's consistent effort this week. He played solid golf in tough conditions today."
