Anderson commented on the day saying, “Although it was a very nice day to golf, our team's short game had not been the best we've seen due to the course's conditions. I am disappointed I won't be able to compete with my team after the season is over.”
Head coach Rick Adams also mentioned, “Overall, it wasn't our best performance but Travis did very well placing second! We are looking forward to better performances down the road.”
