Hear from
Dustin Bierman
"The ladies grinded over two days against a solid field here in Bloomington, IL. We had some freshmen step up and play well in Brooklyn Bussan and Sophia Thier. Happy for Payton; she has worked extremely hard on her game, and she is starting to see the results. Looking forward to teeing it up again this coming weekend in Madison at TPC Wisconsin."
