From the Coaches' Eye - Hovland's Analysis…
"We played a very difficult golf course well today and turned in the fifth lowest score of the day. Mackova's top-10 performance led the way and kept us in the middle of the pack. This was a premier field and we made some huge strides as a team. I think the momentum from today will help us next week at Ohio State!"
