Sander said he and the team were worried about their clubs being damaged.
The team practiced with their clubs on Wednesday and everything seemed fine. However, some team members said parts of their luggage were damaged.
Sander said Delta apologized for the way the team's luggage was handled and is working with the university to make it right. FOX Television Stations has also reached out to the airline for comment.
As for the team, they are getting ready for the tournament and are currently playing at La Costa Golf Course in Carlsbad, California.
