Head Coach Erika Brennan
On upcoming tournament in Virginia Beach:
"We are excited to return to Princess Anne Country Club and compete in the Evie Odom. This event is first-class from start to finish and is a great test of golf. We will need to prioritize decision-making in the wind with six par 3s and staying committed to our game plan. We're ready to get after it!"
Senior Karoline Tuttle
On the last tournament and her prep for this weekend:
"I putted well at the last event; therefore, that's something I would like to build on and bring into this week. I've focused on my iron play knowing that the greens are smaller here and the wind could be a significant factor."
On the mindset of playing 36 holes in one day:
"Knowing 36 hole days are long, I try to focus on the simple things, sticking to my process and having fun out there. Recovery is also important the night before."
