Coach Even Spence's Thoughts:
 
"Tough test this week weather wise on one of the more difficult golf courses we see all year. Didn't get off to a great start in round 1 but it was great to see some fight back this week in the second round with one of the top 3 rounds of the day in round 2. Felt like we finally got some positives rolling late in round 2 and we'll be looking to carry that momentum into Pensacola in a couple of weeks as we continue to try and build some good momentum heading into the postseason.
