^{“I was happy with the way Tyler played, but think we came out too tight as a team,” head coach Joe Inman said. “I think nerves just got to us a little today and we tried too hard. The good thing is that there are still 36 holes to play and we can move up the leaderboard rather quickly. I expect we will play much better on Monday.”}
