// QUOTING COACH DOUG MARTIN
On preparation for the tournament:
"I'm very excited to take this team on the road again. We have had some great, focused practices since Florida State. The weather has been good enough for us to get out and play. This time of year our on course reps between events is key. It allows us to work on making corrections from the past event."
