After the tournament, Head Coach Stuart Winsby was proud of his team and the fight they showed in West Palm Beach.
“Once again I am proud how the guys stayed mentally strong throughout a very long day 1. Day 2 we didn’t have our best but we managed to finish second place. Vedant threw everything at getting the win and was narrowly beaten on the last hole with the eventual winner holing out from 100 yards. As a coach I am very pleased with the momentum of the season. The team is focusing on next week where we compete at Innisbrook for a highly anticipated tournament in the NAIA.”
The Warriors will be back in action on Monday September 23rd when they travel to Palm Harbor, Florida for the Invite at Innisbrook.
