TEXAS A&M QUOTES
Head Coach Brian Kortan
On the round...
"It was a day where we hit it well enough to post a quality 36-hole score, but we didn't putt well enough to take advantage of our tee-to-green play.
 
"We won't dwell on today's performance. We'll be ready to get after it from the first tee. We'll have great energy and look to bounce back and score much better tomorrow."
