"We got off to a slow start today and have to learn how to not get down early in the round," said Spartan head coach Dana Dormann. "The course was in great shape, even though they had rain last week. Our putting was generally good, and our chipping got better. We are showing improvement on our wedge game and are learning the little things make a difference. We are getting better each day.
"This was a great experience for our players to play at Medinah Country Club which has hosted the Ryder Cup and PGA Championship. We competed against quality competition and had a nice finish. This was another good tournament for us."
