"Nick had an amazing week of golf. He is a very polished tournament player and his calm demeanor on the course paid dividends during the variety of weather and course conditions during the week," commented Head Coach Molly McNamara. "Nick is a very independent, tournament savvy player and watching him during the week has been a highlight of my coaching career. After his play during his first three rounds, I knew he was due a low round and it was a fun round to have an up close view of. We are all very proud of Nick's accomplishment and cannot wait to see what the future holds for him."
