Head Coach Kevin Fillman: “Scooter’s probably the key to the way we perform. Of his six under-par rounds from the fall, four came in the two tournaments we won. That’s the kind of production you’d expect from a veteran player. Nobody’s improved more over the course of his career than Scooter. He came in here with a lot of undeveloped potential, and he’s leaving as a player.”
