              "We have been very close in a couple of events, so it's great to see all the work and progress the team has made all come together to get our first team win," said Jesse Speirs, WC golf coach. "The conditions were pretty extreme with wind blowing 30 miles per hour or higher for all three rounds. The guys did a great job in hanging in there and minimizing their mistakes."
