IN THEIR WORDS
Head coach Christian Newton on today
"I'm really proud of our team for how they rebounded in the afternoon after a tough 18 holes to start the day. It really showed a high level of character to come back and put that record round together. I think that speaks volumes to what we can be as a team and I am excited to see how we come out in tomorrow's final round."
