COACH DIJON KNIGHT'S COMMENTS
Overall, the Dan Quayle Match Play Invitational provided a good experience for our players. I'm pleased with the way our guys competed. The format of the tournament was unique and challenged everyone to compete one-on-one hole-for-hole. Our players enjoyed the competition in their head-to-head matchups. Despite frigid temperatures, we had several guys play some really good golf, which is encouraging to see.
