QUOTING COACH MENZEL
“I think we learned a lot this week, we had two solid rounds and one we would certainly like to have back. I thought the team kept fighting today and we look forward to getting back after it in Madison. Paula looked solid this week and it was great to see her in the top-25 of a very strong field of players.”
