Head Coach Joni Stephens
Thought on the Round: Throughout the day, we struggled with hitting greens - some due to inconsistent ballstriking and some to how the wind was affecting club and shot decisions. However, our putting was really good and I saw a lot of good shots from around the green and out of sand. Tomorrow we want to build on the things we did well today and work harder to trust and commit to the decisions we are making.
UP NEXT
-ULM hits the links Tuesday morning in the final round of the Islander Classic with the team going off in a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m.
