QUOTING RACHEL FUJITANI
“Maridoe Country Club was a great test that challenged both mental and physical conditions. I was able to hit fairways and greens during the first round which I think is key while playing this course. The wind kicked in the final day and although I struggled a bit more finding fairways and greens, I continued to push forward. I’m very proud of my team. I think they adjusted very well with today’s conditions. We are just preparing day by day for Big Tens.”
