"Since this event was close to home and a team dropped out at the last minute, we were able to bring our whole team to the tournament," said Roadrunners Golf Coach Wayne Ogle. "We were able to get some more competitive repetitions in. We outplayed ourselves from our last event, cleaned up some mistakes that have been happening on the course, and gained more experience on a different style golf course, which are all positive things."
