Head Coach JC Deacon
On Monday's rounds:
"It's just a really tough course, and the conditions were tough. It was cool and very windy today, and we just played poorly. When you put those conditions and bad golf together, the results are not going to be good."
On tomorrow's final round:
"We have to find some resilience deep down. We need to dig really deep and have some pride and find a way to put up a low round – hopefully the lowest round of the day tomorrow. I think that would be a great goal for us. We just need to find a way to fight back, beat some teams and see if we can get some positives out of this tournament going into the next week."
