“We definitely didn’t play our best at this tournament and we had a lot of difficulty playing on that particular course,” Blunt said. “But we’re practicing very hard for our upcoming tournaments because that last loss was a tough one for our team. We just have to get back into the swing of things and get used to the transition from practicing indoors to playing on an actual course.”
