“Coach Simpson always says, ‘be where your feet are’ and that helped me the most this week,” mentioned King. “My main goal was to have fun and it’s really easy to have fun with this team. Just being present in every shot and remembering how capable I am of playing well was something that stuck with me this week. My game felt really well rounded as a whole, I hit a lot of fairways, my iron play was consistent and I putted well.”
