Assistant Coach Josh Shaw's Take:

• "I saw some really good play out there this week, and we made a move up the leaderboard with a solid final round in some windy conditions. We left too much to do after day one and did not get our fair share of putts to drop. With that being said, we have many positives to take home in preparation for our next event."
• "Devan showed exactly what he is capable of this week. If some putts had dropped for him, we could have been talking about three scores in the 60's. I am very excited to see him take this form into the next tournament he plays."
• "Eric was very solid tee to green as he is most weeks and again on the greens, it didn't quite happen for him. He played some really good golf and should be pleased with the way his game is coming along."
• "Scott was on form with his driver and irons. He hit a lot of fairways and had a lot of chances for birdie. Zack did so well to come back from his first round. He didn't have his 'A' game in any of the three rounds this week and that makes it all the more impressive that he stuck with it. He is a big talent that will deliver for us in the coming events."
