// HEAD COACH DOUG MARTIN'S COMMENTS
On the team's performance this week:
"I didn't prepare this team well enough for Crooked Stick. The golf course played extremely difficult and we did a poor job of handling the conditions. We have a lot of work to do over the next couple weeks before we close the fall season. I thought Mason played very well today and Sam has another Top 25 finish."
