From Shauna Taylor
I’m really proud of our fight today. Yesterday was a tough condition day and we had to work to stay in it and be patient. We did a nice job through the elements. Today it’s windy and cold but we kept giving ourselves chances. We made some really good putts and stayed together. I love to see that – I love to see the fight in this group. We’re having a great time and trying to keep our patience, stick to the game plan and be mindful of the hole locations. We are looking forward to tomorrow with the goal of ending our fall season on a strong note. I’m proud of the team effort and can’t wait for tomorrow.
