On the team's first-day performance:
"Today was an extremely difficult day of golf. Concession is a very difficult challenge. We certainly didn't handle the difficulty of the course very well. We were exposed in areas of our games today that clearly need improvement. I though Cole Harris, Tommy Sullinger and Clay Amlung all played solid rounds in the afternoon."
