Post Game Press:
"I've been working hard all season, even though the results haven't really reflected it, so it was nice to see some of that work pay off today. With the conditions and the pins being pretty tucked, I just tried to miss in the right spots and limit the damage when I did hit a bad shot. This round is big for me because it shows me I'm heading in the right direction as we finish the fall and start looking toward the spring."
Shawn Amari said following the victory.
