Thoughts on the Course – The course played rather
short in the practice round, however with the tee’s having
been taken, it looks very challenging now.
The Opening Ceremony – As I’m a first year student,
and this is my first tournament of this kind, I found the
ceremony exciting, it set the tone for good things to come.
How will team USA fair? – We are here to win! |
