POST-ROUND COMMENTS
Texas head coach John Fields
"Prairie Dunes was there for the taking today, and the scores showed it. We were very close to playing really well today. We had a couple of low scores of 70 and a high score of 73. We are expecting tough conditions tomorrow, so a great round could go a long way."
