COACH'S QUOTE
"I'm grateful we were able to begin our season with some consistent play," said first-year head coach Collin Toner. "To have four players in the top 30  of an 84-player field is a great sign. The finish to round two was our best golf of the week and that was at the end of a 36-hole walking day. I'm proud of the toughness we showed and I'm confident we will continue to improve."
