“I think we played well, but not up to the standards we hold for ourselves,” sophomore Ryan Trousdale said. “Some of these things come from inexperience and some of them come from a lack of discipline. I truly feel that the more rounds all of us play, the better results we will start to see and the less little things we will do wrong. If everybody could concentrate on cleaning up the small mistakes, I truly feel that we can play with about anyone in the country.”
Junior Eric Hill was the highest finisher for the Eagles. He tied for 29th place after shooting a 82, 75 and 70 in each of the three rounds to end at 227. In a tie for 39th place, sophomore Juan Pallach shot a 76 and 78 before closing with a 75 to finish with a 229.
