COACH'S QUOTE
"We were in really good position after the first two rounds, we just couldn't get anything going early in the third round. It was a day that was pretty scorable and we needed to take more advantage of the day. It just didn't happen today. We had a couple of good individual performances from Ryan and Henry but it takes all five guys. We will learn from it and continue to improve in order to reach our goals." - head coach
