REACTION FROM HEAD COACH DAVID LYNN
Â
What an incredible achievement for our team to have four All-Americans this year. The hallmark of our program is to have the type of players that push each other every day to get better, and that was certainly the case with this group. What isn't seen is this group's team chemistry on and off the course. They were a very special group who fought day in and day out for themselves and each other, which is a rare quality in most teams. I am so proud of all they achieved this year.
