18 Quotes by Chris Haack

We're looking forward to getting started again. The guys have worked hard in practice and in qualifying, and it's a nice reward to get to play in a tournament, especially in a place as nice as Puerto Rico. We're looking forward to knocking off some rust and getting ready for the rest of the spring.

I was real proud of the way our team came back and played in the final round. We were 17 shots behind after Monday and it would have been easy for the guys to mail it in.

Chris had one of the best fall seasons I've ever seen. He definitely picked up where he left off this week. He's playing with an awful lot of confidence right now. His back nine today was incredible.

I think anything under par out here on this golf course is a good score,

When I first saw this golf course I thought 4 or 5 or 6 under might win. So to shoot 19 under, I'd definitely rate this effort an A-plus. I give our guys a lot of credit. They came out and played extremely well. I hope this sets the tone for us for the year. It certainly shows we can win and can win against the best teams.

The quality of junior golf is such that players can step up and make the transition to the college game much quicker than ever before,

We had some guys get off to a rough start, but we hung in there and kept the lead. The main thing is, we still have a chance to win it. That's all players and coaches ever want. Our guys have been here before, so they know what to expect and how to respond to this challenge.

We've had some pretty intense qualifying rounds. The competition is making everybody better.

We had our two freshman shoot 15-under (for the tournament), now that excites me. More than anything, it shows what they can do and that they are ready to step in and play. I know one thing, it's going to be really exciting just watching guys try to get into the lineup. Now that's a nice luxury to have.
