Coach Jamison's Take

"I'm proud of the way our guys finished that final round. This was undoubtedly our strongest field of the year and I think our guys walked away knowing they can compete in a deep field like this. We're back at it next week and it will be a great opportunity for us to show out in a strong field. Champions keep fighting until they get it right and I know our guys will put in the work and be ready for the next opportunity. Go Owls!"
