HEAR FROM HEAD COACH TYLER STITH
"We knew with the conditions the course would be totally different today. The north wind makes this pace a lot more difficult. That’s exactly what you want when you’re trying to come from behind. Unfortunately, we didn’t take advantage of the conditions or our course knowledge. We got off to a poor start and never put any pressure on Kansas. From there, I think we pressed too hard which is ultimately going to cost you strokes."
UP NEXT
The Hawkeyes will travel to West Lafayette to compete in the Boilermaker Intercollegiate hosted by Purdue. This event will conclude the Hawkeye’s regular season before they compete in the Big Ten Championships.
