The Invitational at The Ocean Course
Gators Drop to Eighth in Round Two at The Invitational at The Ocean Course
Monday, October 28, 2013 | Men's Golf
In what proved to be a difficult day for the men's golf team, Florida fell to eighth place after shooting a combined 15-over in the second round of the Invitational at The Ocean Course this afternoon.
Junior J.D. Tomlinson shot even par today, the only Gator to do so, connecting on three birdies to end the day tied for 18th place.
Buddy's Bite: “Not a good day at all. I'm lost for words. I really thought we would have played well this week and it hasn't happened yet. You have to find a way to get on the board and we just haven't done it. I have never seen the course this tame, it's there for the taking and we just played poorly both days.”
