Jay Seawell Comments
"There are a lot of things we can take away that were positive. We just keep shooting ourselves in the foot enough to keep us from doing the little things it takes to win a golf tournament. We are doing some big things, but not the little things and that's where we need to be better. There was a lot we can build off of – I was proud of Brycen (Jones) and he has been playing good consistent golf for us. (Nick) Gross is starting to round into form and looked the part this week.
"The regular season is over. That was it. It's time to put it all together. It's championship season and we have to be ready to perform the way I know we can perform."
