Steve Desimone Quotations

This was a team effort. These were definitely some of the harshest conditions (we faced this year).

He has been able to regroup this week. He is in a much better frame of mind.

He is playing really solid golf. This is a guy with a bright future in the game.

(Jensen) played well. He was clearly our top player out there, and we needed all the help we could get.

Jensen is looking like himself. He played lights out this week-he looked like he did in the fall.

Jensen has been struggling with his alignment. He seems to be making a good pass through the ball (now), and hitting it the way he was in the summer and the fall.

Michael continues to struggle. He is still uncomfortable with his swing.

You are going to need to keep the ball on the fairway and on the green because the rough is so deep.

We've got some work to do. We are in this thing together.

We still have a third of the season to go. We are still fighting for an NCAA regional berth.

We can't squander any more opportunities. When teams get down to the end (of the season), and you are a bubble team, they gear it up a notch.

We got in four or five holes (Sunday). We got off to as good a start as anyone out there.

This was a pretty tough way to finish. I think we are all pretty frustrated.

You hit a few good shots and you get some confidence back. Overall, he hit the ball a lot better. I am optimistic that we got him back on track.

With Jensen back, we played some better golf. The expectations are that we are going to play well and we are going to make a statement.

We got some positive stuff out of this. We beat some pretty good teams.

You have to put the ball on the fairway. You are not going to be able to get really aggressive. You need to be defensive on a course this difficult.

Every shot, every hole was a battle. There were only two or three holes out there you could really get after.

The scores were high, but I don't think it played quite as hard as I thought. Then there was Rob Grube. I don't know what course he was playing.

So much of this game is confidence. When you get on a positive cycle, the confidence is there and the momentum is there. George thinks he can beat any one in the world.

The weather is the X-factor. If we get no rain, it is going to be the hardest thing we have ever played. I don't even want to think about if we get rain.

This course is very tight. The margin for error is so small here.

A lot of it is working with basic fundamentals. We may have found some answers, but you never know until you try them under pressure.

There was very deep rough in a lot of spots, especially around the green. We really didn't handle that well.

This is the playoffs for us. You finish a certain spot or you go home.

Every one of the guys knows that at any time, something can go wrong. If you hit two bad shots on a hole, you are looking at an eight, nine or ten.

It was a pretty disappointing finish. We had a golden opportunity to help ourselves a lot.

The kids understand what is at stake. This was the best week of practice we have had all year. We are going to break out at some point.

The kids know the gravity of this. It is the last chance that we will have to play against teams in the Big West and the Western Conference that we are in competition with, so it is extremely important.

If you get in a slump like that, you have to work real hard to get out of it. You work hard like (Jensen did) and it pays off.

I know Michael Wilson was pretty frustrated. It is an easy golf course to lose your confidence, and it is not an easy one to regain it. That has been the issue with Michael Wilson all spring.

This is a good time for us to get going. We feel like we have a legitimate shot at winning.

This is a lot like a class, only we are a year-long class. Experience is certainly a factor here.

The guys really did a good job (Saturday) afternoon. Jensen had one shot on 15 for eagle... and all of a sudden the game was easy.
