[break] [break] “Chemistry is critical in team golf and we’re really seeing that with the five guys,” Georgia coach Chris Haack said. “Their confidence in themselves and each other is up, especially now that they’ve won twice together. I was pleased with how consistent we were all week. We stayed away from any big numbers and we made our putts. I hope we can carry the momentum into the next one.”
