We had to get some things off our chest. We had to come together as a team. We had to get motivated and play harder. We knew we were a better team than we showed in the last three games.

It's everybody's team, so everybody has the opportunity to say something to get off their chest and say something they think we need to do. Let everybody hear it, and everybody give their opinion and that will be that.

It's been a long trip for us and the team has really stuck together. We've been resilient and we've been able to come out and put our best foot forward, regardless of the situation. It just shows that our team is really unique ... as far as us being able to get through a season in such controversy.

It gives you extra responsibility. Confidence comes with the hard work, and tonight we were a hard-working team.

I'm really happy with the team that we've put together for this Palmer Cup. Not only do we have experienced players who are having great college seasons, but we have guys who have competed in Palmer Cups, Walker Cups and The Masters. Hopefully we will have as much success as we did last time I coached.

At the very least the idea is the expansion (of his chest cavity) will keep up with his growth.
