THOUGHTS FROM COACH STROM
"Unfortunately we did not take advantage of some great play yesterday," head coach
Lisa Strom said. "We did not get off to a good start this morning when finishing the second round. There is always something to learn from these situations. I am proud of Aom and how she managed her way around the golf course this week. Mentally she is so strong and she does a great job of letting things go."
