Atlantic Head Coach Ed DenBeste: “Once again, great day in Denison.  Tough conditions today as the wind and temps changes several times during the round. Started good but the last 5 or so holes, the wind picked up and caused some issues. Ben had a great day today. Any time you go under par is super. Good to see him finish even though he didn’t always hit the ball great. He did have some great recovery shots though. Especially on 17 where he hit one out but chipped in to save bogie. Matt had a solid round as well. Good to see him in mid 70s. Cyle had his struggles but finished ok. Good to see him battle. Austin had the best round this year.  Good to see him in the low 80s. Braden struggled but at least in the low 90s. Good experience for him. Had to wait on Mason but he came in his normal of mid 80s. Good to see him tie Cyle.”
