From the Course -- Head Coach Todd Oehrlein: "I thought we played well in stretches. The golf course at Michigan is always a demanding place, so it was great to see how our young players managed the setup. We definitely need to drive the ball better moving forward, but it was great to get some experience for so many new players. We'll turn our attention to hosting next weekend, and it will be great to be at University Ridge."
Up Next: The Badgers play host next Sunday-Tuesday for the annual Badger Invitational at University Ridge. Admission is open and free to the public, with parking first-come-first-serve at the clubhouse. Tee times will be set at a later date.
