QUOTES & NOTES
"A couple of loose shots on the front and we rolled the dice on seven and paid the price for it. After that, he really played great. It was tough out there and he hung in and gutted out a solid round. We'll build on the momentum from the last 12 today and play a good one tomorrow." –
