"I was pleased with the way we finished the tournament, shooting our lowest round of the week," said Joe Jensen, UW Director of Golf.  "We came into this tournament wanting to improve as we progressed through the rounds, and we did that on Sunday.  This tournament featured several ranked teams, and the Classic Club is a championship-level golf course, so this was certainly a challenging first event for the start of our spring season.  We want to thank all the teams that participated in our tournament this year, and we thank the people at the Classic Club for hosting us."
