Tresa LaBoube Quotations

With those two it's all business on the golf course. How many times have those two been head-to-head? A putt or two here, a putt or two there and they're tied. They tied at the (Illinois-Missouri) Challenge and they're shooting good scores. I expect to see that continue for both of them.

She had a very nice round. She's been very consistent in our two outings so far this season. She shot a 76 at the Alton tournament over the weekend and now a 36 in our first dual matches. She's on her game.

She remembered to play her own game and not focus on what she needs to shoot. She's played with these girls before and I'm glad that she focused on her game.

I tell you what, I was real happy to see Jessica come back after that front nine. That back nine was tough. It has a lot of blind shots and a lot of trouble. So for her to come back with a 37 on that nine, that's great.

I sure don't see it and I don't really feel it either and I don't think they do. It's like you go out to play golf that day, expect to do your best, gut it out, play as hard as you can and see where the chips fall. I think that's the mindset they've had from day one and they're just keeping that same focus.

We're all pleased and excited. It was awesome to start the season this way. I'm pleased with the whole team. They gutted it out on a long, hot day.

We?re not even thinking about at this time. We don?t want to get ahead of ourselves.

We'll take that score. The girls played this course for the first time Sunday in a practice round. So for not being too familiar with it, that's a pretty good finish.

We don't really discuss that. We're all aware of it, but we don't talk about it much. We've taken the approach all season to just focus on the match or tournament at hand. Like I told the girls before this tournament, I just want them to go out and have fun. I want them to stay focused, but have some fun while they're out there.

We're going to work on our short game.

Courtney stepped up and came through for us. She played well.

The whole team did very well as a group.

They stuck it out and didn't give up. I know they can both improve their games.

There were a lot of good teams both from Illinois and Missouri here, and the course was playing very tough,. This was a great test for the girls.

It's probably going to be wet and windy out there Monday, so the course definitely won't get any easier. We're going to have to bear down and play well. It's going to be another tough test.

It's nice to get off to a good start. The girls have come right out and played well. We hope to keep it rolling.

They've played against each other quite a few times over the past few seasons and they battle it out every time. It's all business when those two step on the course. They both want to win and they're both very talented golfers.

I'm real proud of how well the girls responded. Playing without Marissa and playing in rainy, windy conditions, the girls came through.

I?m very pleased how the girls played today. I?m excited for the whole team.

Hickory Ridge is a difficult golf course. If you don't hit the ball in the fairway, you can get in a lot of trouble. Our girls did a great job dealing with its small greens and rolling fairways.

The girls weren't real pleased with the scores, but a lot of that is that they expect to shoot so well each time out. But I'm real proud of them for sticking it out on a very difficult course. You never know with golf what that particular day is going to bring.

The course was playing difficult, that's why the scores are a little higher. That back nine is difficult. It's tight and there are a lot of hazards, so if you're not right on, you can get in trouble in a hurry. I'm not saying the front nine was easy, but that back-nine was a monster.

The last tournament we had three scores in the 70s and now we've got four scores in the 70s and Whitney Shaw with that 83. She had her best round yet. I tell you I couldn't be happier. This is what we need to do right now.
