On Tuesday’s round...
“It was just another scrappy round. The golf course played pretty difficult. The wind was blowing out of the north and chilly. I don’t think they put water on it for a while, so it was pretty backed out. The guys hung in there and put together a nice round – low round of the day. And we got to bring home a trophy, so that’s a good thing.”
