“We played better today and we definitely played the par 3’s better.” Head coach Brian Watts said on Tuesday. “We struggled a little bit with the greens. We didn’t make any putts out there today. We’re going to work on our speed on the greens, and work on our long iron shots. We’re playing for pride, so we’ve got to make sure these guys are refocused and ready to go tomorrow mentally. Sometimes when you’re not in the hunt, it’s hard to regroup. I don’t think that will be an issue for this group, but we’re going to do some meditation and try to get these guys fresh and ready to go tomorrow. Paul Peterson had a great round of golf today; he just played good solid golf. He hit 17 out of 18 greens, so he gave himself a lot of opportunities.”
