Coach Jason Retzlaff:
"We always love playing at home at Pebble Lake which is always a great test of golf. We had an outstanding field that included numerous four year colleges. The conditions couldn't have been more different each day with Sunday being hot/windy and Monday being cold/rainy. Monday was especially difficult as scoring was higher for the field.With our men, we had stretches of very good golf but need to be able to sustain it for longer stretches. Grant Inniger was tremendous on Sunday and Hunter Burnside played fantastic golf on Monday. Joel Quam really hung in there to shoot even par on his last nine holes today. "
"Audra Ewan had a very nice finish just outside the top 10 in a strong field of nearly thirty golfers. She is an impressive player and it was great to see her shoot in the 80's on Sunday."
The Spartans will next compete on Friday at the UMM Invite at Minnewaska GC and Saturday at the Cougar Invite at Pomme de Terre GC.
