Sprecker talks about what he was most proud of from his tournament.
“I feel like I started the tournament pretty rough, but I’m really proud of how I pulled it together and ended it,” Sprecker said.
The next lowest scoring players were freshman Eli Platz and junior Dylan Bauer. Both players ended their tournament with scores of 83, tied for 35th overall.
In order to prepare for this tournament each player does different things. Freshman Eli Platz walked through how he decided to prepare for going into this tournament.
“I looked over the course online,” Platz said. “I usually do this before every tournament so I know what to expect when I get there.”
Though the team did have multiple successes, there were still challenges that made an impact on how they played. Every course has its challenges, so the golfer must find a way to work around any issues that might present themselves.
Sprecker talked about what he found to be the greatest challenge that this particular course had to offer.
“The greens on the course we played Monday were aerated,” Sprecker said. “That means that there are little holes in the green. This makes it a lot harder to put on.”
