UCF-Isleworth Collegiate Invitational Post-Game Quotes

Oct. 28, 2008

Recap

Georgia head coach Chris Haack
On winning at Isleworth for the third-straight time:
"This is a great place, and again another magical week for us down here. I do not know why, but our guys seem to respond here. It is the same team that won here last year, and obviously to play as well as we did it gives us a boost going into the spring."
On his team's success on the course
"I am not sure. You do have to have some length out here because it is a long golf course. I am not sure if that is it. I wish we could put our finger on it, and I wish the NCAA would put the championship out here. I do not understand it, but I sure do love it."
On Russell Henley's performance
"He played really solid today. I know Jorge [Campillo] got off to a good start today, and I really thought it was his tournament. Unfortunately he stumbled a little bit and Henley hung around long enough to win. That is what you have to do on a course as tough as this, and he did. It tells you the kind of player that he is. He is a fighter and a scrapper."

Georgia's Russell Henley
On winning the event
"I have come back from behind before, but I do not know if I have ever come back [that much]. One thing I did know was that anyone could make bogeys on that back side, or front side for that matter. It was so windy and so cold, I just stuck to my game plan and never gave up."

UCF head coach Nick Clinard
On hosting this premier tournament
"It is an honor to host this event. It is a first class college golf tournament, the best in the country, and to partner with Tavistock is a priviledge."
On his team's play during the final round
"We had a good round. We tied for the lowest round of the day with the University of Georgia so we played great. We just have to keep working on some things and trying to get better. We came out ready to play today so I am proud of them."
