Jason Gerken Quotations

Losing to Columbia and barely beating a few other Ivy teams is unacceptable, so we are all a little upset with the finish. Still, the scores were bunched and we were only 12 shots out of first, so it's not like we are too far off.

Our team is very consistent, and I think our freshmen will live up to how they've been billed.

We're all playing well right now and have been working hard this entire week, so we couldn't be more confident about our games. It would be great if we could get everybody in the top 10 or even in the top seven for the All-Ivy team.

We need to convert more birdies when we have wedges in our hands.

We all like the course, and it sets up well for our games. Plus it is our first big district event, and we need to do well there.

The second day push was encouraging psychologically, but we still didn't beat any of the teams we needed to beat. I think we hit it better in the second round in general, which paid off in the form of fewer mistakes and more birdies.

During the final round, we sprayed the ball, left ourselves long putts and made a few big numbers that sent our scores soaring,?. . ?And as has been our problem all year long, we finished poorly over the last few holes.

I don't think we can be too disappointed. Golf is a game of inches, so two shots is nothing. We'll put this behind us immediately.

A lot is at stake this weekend. This is our only home tournament, so it means a lot to play well in front of family and friends.
