Coach Kayden's Take
"It was a tough day all around and we simply did not execute the shots we needed to make," said head coach Kirk Kayden. "We put ourselves in many bad positions and you just can't do that at a tough course like Inverness. We'll need to be ready to respond and be focused on strong play Tuesday.
"I'm proud of Tyler [Copp] for how well he has played this week...this is a difficult test of golf and he has handled it well."
