QUOTING COACH ANDERSON — “I was disappointed in our start on Friday, we weren’t ready and just didn’t play well on our home course. We were completly different in rounds two and three. I was proud of the come-from-behind win, but not happy with the start. This will be a good, competitive event in Memphis. We have been in the hunt in our three events this fall. We need to continue to improve and maintain our consistency. It’s a strong field on what is considered the best course in Memphis.”
