HEAR FROM HEAD COACH TYLER STITH
“We started the day well, struggled through some of the holes into wind but then closed out the round strong. We were in third after the morning but we gave it all back this afternoon. It was windy all day but more persistent in the afternoon. We compounded errors and made far too many big numbers. We need to manage that better tomorrow.”
HAWKEYE NOTABLES
- Noah Kent was one of six golfers to eagle on Monday.
- McClear’s par four average of 4.00 (E) is tied for fourth in the field.
