THOUGHTS FROM CSUSM HEAD COACH GREG HUTTON
“It was a great week overall. The wind conditions were really tough, but we fought pretty hard. Today we played great as a team shooting five over. Even though we weren’t our best this week, we still were able to win by 10 strokes. Hats off to Jaime on another win. This was a great team win with everyone contributing. We are looking forward to our home tournament next week.”
