QUOTES FROM STOKES
"It'll be nice to get back in with some league competition and a golf course that we've seen before. We are fairly comfortable with the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, and we should produce some nice scores this weekend."
 
"Having a week of practice was good, and Jordan [Davis] had a really good week, individually. And having some experience on the course will lead us to make better decisions and get in the mix."
