Our scorecard was fairly clear. We have to clear up some placing stuff, however for those who would have advised me that was what we’d have shot beginning out, I might have taken it in a heartbeat. I am tremendous happy with the battle, as a result of that end was actually robust. It was getting chilly, and the wind was up. Ending clear helped that scorecard look actually good.”
The Aggies have been one stroke behind Clemson (-8) for the highest spot on the crew leaderboard. The Maroon & White have been 10 strokes forward of fifteenth place, which would be the first minimize after spherical three of stroke play.
