Paquin noted continued improvement in Ramey.
“She continues improving her shot making, but could score even lower with some improvement in chipping and putting,” he said. “Kadence played No. 3 and shot her best score of the season and continues to get better daily. Jennifer and Serena are lowering their scores by making good contact with the ball and moving from tee to green much better.
