I was once again extremely impressed by the showing of my freshmen. They have all three been rock solid and have really solidified their spots on the team. Having Jiwon win for the second time this fall was impressive and watching Grace and Jiwon battle it out for the individual title all day was exciting. It all came down to the last putt of the day when Jiwon ended up making a 20 foot putt on the final hole of play to win by one shot. This is one of the most impressive teams I have coached and we are looking forward to the remainder of the season."
