COACH HORN'S THOUGHTS
"For the weekend, We battled without our A-game most of the tournament. We really struggled on the greens and overcame a lot and inexperience to move up the leaderboard on day two. I am really proud of how the guys battled even through a lot of adversity and a lot of trouble with the flat stick. If we get the putter figured out we are going to be very dangerous! Congratulations to Max Leppelmeier on a third place finish. Also we got good play from Josh DiCarlo and Tyler Hurtubise for finishing in the top 15. The whole group battled and we've got a lot to look forward to"

UP NEXT
The Findlay Doc Spragg Fall Invitational is up next on the schedule. The event will begin on Sept. 19th at Findlay Country Club.
