Yesterday's and [Thursday's] practice was a little tough, but real good. It was good to have a day off and then go real hard for a few days. I think it was beneficial for our team. A lot of drills, a lot of running, but I think we did well yesterday.

They're still coming hard to practice every day and they're not letting up at all. They have not packed it in at all.

There's only so much you can accomplish in practice. We accomplished all that. And we made it through as a team, and still like each other.

We had our best two days of practice of the year on Saturday and Monday. We knew the key to this game was defense.

Those are the kind of opportunities you practice. It's not fun if you're coming up the 18th knowing your team is up by 40 rather than knowing your birdie could make or break the team. It was great to roll one in like that because I hadn't made anything all two days.

Coach asked us how many of the other seven teams in the tournament would practice hard and with intensity, and we said all seven. So that's what we did. & It's hard to mentally prepare yourself when you know there's a chance you won't get in. For those two days I was sick to my stomach. It was a terrible wait.
