Coach Greg Ferguson Sr.'s quote: I thought that he played fantastic golf. I did not watch him the first six or seven holes, but watched th rest of the day. He made a couple of fundamental mistakes but he hangs in there and fights back. There were a half a dozen very good players at this event, too. He showed a ton of character in the playoff. It was a pretty nice thing to happen for him because he has played in his brother's [Jimmy] shadow sometimes. I was pretty excited for him."
