I thought the golf course played a lot tougher than Sunday due to the change in wind direction. We were focused more today because we had to due to the tougher scoring chances. I am really proud of the team. Lyberty played fantastic and she handled the conditions very well. She had a lot of birdie chances despite the tough weather. I am really proud of how well she bounced back from the UCF Challenge and how she put three great rounds together. I think Thao My got off to a great start and gave us another strong top 10 finish."
