It really was an excellent showing...In our big events this year we have absolutely held our own without ever fully in the running for the title. Solo 3rd here is fantastic and the way we did it again with contributions from all over the place highlights the depth of this team. Southern Highlands is a world class track that can eat up players, average score this tourney was over 74, so -4 is nothing to turn your nose up at. Lots more golf to come in a short amount of time but this has to be encouraging for the boys.
What a showing for Trey this week. Was a huge recruit coming out of Virginia and winning a battle for a guy that is atop 15 player in his class and from the south against major high level schools is massive for Small. Had a really solid if not spectacular freshman year making all big 10 and this year has leaped forward. So consistent in matches, had the least amount of bogeys in the field(did have two doubles so...). Went toe to toe with several of the best players in the nation. Ryan also was impressive this week, fought to a top-20. He is gonna need to keep this form as he is right on the bubble of the PGA U. Also, he is stepping into that senior leader role in terms of his play, no idea what type of teammate he is, and is fueling this spring so far. So much depth in this squad, Dane is another who was tremendous this week. Important for him because the PGA U is a two year running total and top 10s at places like this add up.
looking ahead we've got two weeks before our next match and it doesn't get much easier Pauma Valley Invitational, another Robert Trent Jones Sr course. Field is stacked, 1 UVA, 3 Florida, 6 LSU, 10 Texas Tech, 11 Ok St, 13 MIss, 17 Georgia Tech, 18 Tennessee, 25 San Diego St. Gonna be fun.
