"We're really disappointed in how we played," A&M Coach J.T. Higgins said. "We know we are a lot better than that. We put ourselves in some bad spots and just hit some bad shots. You can't do that against this level of competition on this type of golf course. We'll get after it tomorrow and see if we can salvage something positive out of this."
