HEAD COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"Today was just poor execution from a majority of the team. At this level, you should never count a round in the 80's, you have to find a way to keep it in the mid-70's at the worst. Dom continues to play solid golf, and I hope to have a good team finish tomorrow to leave on a positive note heading to our next event."
UP NEXT
All teams will tee off the final round on Wednesday morning with a shotgun start at 7:45 a.m.
