From head coach Ashley Leonard
"I am very happy with how our team came out this morning and got off to a great start. I thought they all looked pretty relaxed and loose, and we had some fun this week. This was a very good week for our team on a tough course and I am looking forward to the next one in a few days. I am super proud of Tara for tying for third place this week and having a chance to win the tournament, which is all you can ask. I thought Hailey had a solid event this week and played very steady today making some great up and downs that included a chip-in."
