Trinity Western head coach Chris Hartmann
"Perhaps the most unexpected outcome with the team was Verity shooting 90 rating points, or roughly nine full strokes, better than her player rating, one the strength of her consistent putting all round. This was a personal-best rated round for Verity. What a great time to do that and by quite a margin."
