COACH'S QUOTE
"Anybody who thinks golf is boring did not see
Ellie Cronin in a sudden death playoff for tournament champion today. There were three players out of ninety who were tied after regulation play and went head to head for five holes until one player stuck a shot within two inches of the flag to win. Ellie made clutch putts to tie one playoff hole after another. It was great for the entire team to witness a teammate demonstrate such tremendous focus under pressure. The entire UD team played well at our invite, with all the players today in the 70's. It was a great way to finish the fall season."
