Mercer Scorecard
Coach Kayden's Take
"The guys got off to a little bit of a slow start but they battled back well in the second half of the round today. We were able to salvage the round a little bit. We didn't play as well today as we did yesterday, but the positive is there are a bunch of teams right close to each other in that third through ninth place area. We're very confident that we can move up the leaderboard tomorrow."
"Really proud of Spencer today; the senior led us with a one-under, 71. He was very impressive from tee to green today and hit a lot of good shots. I'm confident that we'll come out and be focused tomorrow and have a good round of golf for a final round to get some momentum going."
