Coach Kraig Hunter said, “Grant had a solid round with a 75 and then to see the next five guys at 85,86,87,88,89 is awesome. That depth has helped us all year because on any given day, any of them could post one of the four team scores. If someone is having an off day, their teammates will be there to pick them up.”
