CSUNÂ SCORES
"The conditions weren't great today and the scores were up. We just didn't execute, it's that simple. We'll play a little more conservative tomorrow and try to make pars and avoid putting up big numbers and try to gain some ground on the field"
The six-team field will tee off the final round Tuesday morning with a shotgun start beginning at 8:30 a.m.
