QUOTING HEAD COACH MEGAN MENZEL
“I think unfortunately, we were not able to capitalize on a really score able day. I think we had it going on the front-nine, obviously showed a big improvement on the back-nine, but our front nine today. We just for some reason kind of lost our seam and weren’t really able to get very hot on the second side, but I think we’re very close. I think we’re burning some edges and hopefully we’ll get our putters hot tomorrow and be able to finish strong.”
UP NEXT
The Ruth Chris Tar Heel Invitational will finish with round three tomorrow. The Hawkeyes will tee off at 8:15 a.m. (CT). Live scoring is available at golfstat.com.
