"I'm really excited that our team kept the momentum we have had over the past month," said Conrad Ray, Stanford's Knowles Family Director of Men's Golf. "Franklin was stellar this week along with many of his teammates who had chances to win today. The Gallery was very demanding, and doing well on a course like that creates confidence for what lies ahead at the NCAA Championships."

"I had the putter going throughout the week, and it was nice to be able to go out and play knowing the rest of the guys would put up a good number," said Huang.
