“Austin and Blake handled the first day very
well i thought. There are some things they want to do better, Austin didn’t hit
the particularly well but really chipped and putted well and that kept him in
the round. Blake felt like he didn’t putt the ball particularly well today. I
feel that todays scores are a great start for them. Tomorrow is a new day and
they are ready to go.” said Coach Andy Soper
