Course superintendent Brandon Nichols has the course in as good a shape as it could be,

We try not to make it too difficult for them, ... But their are some good golfers that we have to challenge. Finding the balance is difficult.

[The tournament returns to the same venue this morning for the 2005 state tournament, but this time the elements are forecasted to be more conducive to scoring.] The weather is supposed to be great, ... They say its going to be the nicest day of the week.

[Senior Rob Hudson sustained his good form with a 3-under par 33 to earn medalist honors for the varsity boys, causing Adams to extoll Hudsons consistency.] Hes really worked hard to make himself a Division I golfer, ... Hes gone from his bad rounds being 38 or 39 to being even par. [FCC] is a short course, but hes been able to put up those numbers at every course weve played on. Im real tickled for him.

[Alex Adams (81) and Hannah Lavy (82) rounded out Fayettevilles scoring. The defending conference champ Lady Bulldogs edged Bentonville by four shots.] Theyve just been steady all year long, ... The best thing I can do for them is to stay out of the way. All the credit goes to them and Kelly Lavy, my assistant head coach. Shes a jack of all trades and our girls program wouldnt be anywhere near what it is without her.

[Hudson put himself in the playoff a difficult spot when, from the middle of the fairway, he pulled his second shot left of the tee box on No. 2.] He made an unbelievable recovery (to get on the green) from where he was sometimes you get the breaks and sometimes you dont, ... Thats golf. I couldnt be prouder of Rob and the rest of the entire team. Six under on this course is absolutely phenomenal. Nobody else was under par and weve got some tremendous golfers in this conference.
