HEAD COACH RYAN MURPHY
"That was a pretty good round we played today, considering the wind blowing as hard as it did. The front nine was playing pretty tough today. The back nine was really fair and a little more scoreable. If you could just salvage that front nine, you were going to be in good shape. I think we probably did that better than anybody today."
