Sophomore Sydney Givens:

“It was definitely unlike any other round I’ve ever played. My previous best score was 66. I was really trying not to look at my score card and just keep rolling in putts. At the end of the round I thought there is no way this just happened. I was a little shaken. I’m not going to lie, I’ve never done anything like that before.”
