COACHES CORNER:
"After a slow start there were many opportunities for the round to get away from us, but they stayed patient and really grinded it out. To finish second after the struggles we had yesterday shows the heart and determination this team has. They work hard and believe that whomever is in the lineup the team will have a chance to compete at the highest level."
"Peter had another great tournament with a top five finish. He had eight birdies in today's round and fired a team low 68 on the day. He is in a great place mentally and physically with his game. I would expect Peter to continue his great play as long as his mind is in the right place. We couldn't be more proud of how these young men are representing the golf team and the Army. We look forward to a day or rest tomorrow and getting back to work on Wednesday."
UP NEXT:
The Cadets will travel to Augusta, Ga., to take part in the Augusta Invitational on April 1.
