"That was an intense final nine holes of competition between us, Sam Houston, and Abilene Christian. The leader changed several times throughout the day. Even though we're not walking away with the championship trophy today, our team is moving in the right direction. Lukas and Daniel played so solid coming down the stretch. It was exciting to see them in a playoff with a chance to win. Thank you to the staff and membership at Westwood for allowing us to host our home event on such a fantastic course."
