"This event will be a new challenge as we are playing together as a team. In my 15 years of coaching, we have never done this before. It will be a great way for people to watch us in just two groups. Hopefully, we have some fans come out. The weather looks like it will be challenging on Monday and Tuesday, so a score of even par will be a good one."
