Quote - Junior Austin Georger

• "Today, my only thoughts were to stay calm after every shot no matter the result. I focused more on what I did wrong after a bad shot and how to correct it instead of getting upset. Down the stretch, I was only thinking how to make the easiest par I could. I was ending on a par-5 and was just focused on getting to that hole without dropping a shot. I knew if I could just play solid golf, I'd have a chance to win on that par-5."

Up Next

• The Tigers return to action on Sunday, April 28, at the Denison Spring Shootout at Denison Golf Club in Granville.
