Coach Geandra Almeida's Thoughts:

"We had a terrible start today. Nine over as a team on the first hole is not a good start at all. But I am proud of the way they bounced back. They could have quit after the first hole but continued on. It was some bad execution and some bad breaks today. But we are still standing and have a shot tomorrow. We haven't played our best golf yet we can play freely and try to give our best."
