HEAR FROM HEAD COACH TYLER STITH
"The course played much more difficult. There was steady 20 mph wind and tough hole locations. We started on the back nine and played well up to No. 17 and No. 18 then we dropped nine shots on those two holes. We made the turn and the guys kept grinding. We ended with the fourth best round of day. Not the finish we wanted but I’m proud of how we fought back today moved up the leaderboard."
