“We’re so pumped for this win, especially considering how tough the final round was today,” head coach Armen Kirakossian mentioned. “The weather had turned. Yesterday for the first two rounds, it had been sunny and beautiful – around 80 degrees, just a great day. And then today, we had a cold front that came in and it rained throughout the round. The winds were coming in from another direction, but our boys stepped up and really rose when the conditions got tough. As a coach, you just cannot be more proud of that. To get the win on top of that with the result, it feels amazing. Our all played steady the entire week. We were always in it, just sticking to the gameplan. We brought great energy. That was something we were looking for this week, to make sure that we were having fun and interacting with each other, and laughing on the course and doing a good job of staying loose. We were able to do all of that in a great way. It’s an amazing feeling for us to come out here and win that trophy, having traveled all the way across the country to face some different teams.”
