Head Coach Greg Allen Quotes
General Thoughts
“I thought it was a little harder today for us. We started off well, but had a hard time finishing.”
On Megan Grehan’s tournament so far:
“She’s a senior, and she really wants to win a tournament. And she’s right there. She’s playing great.”
On the conditions:
“It started to cool off at the end of the round and it got windy. The forecast for tomorrow is for the wind to change direction, so the course is going to play in a totally different way. We’ll just have to stay disciplined with our shot selection and with the choices we make out there.”
