HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
"What a roller-coaster type of day this was. I'm extremely disappointed with our mindset and performance this morning. We are too talented of a group to put up a performance like we did."
"But tip your hat to the guys this afternoon. It's not easy to bounce back in the afternoon on a 36-hole day. I'm proud that they showed some fight this afternoon. We need to have an even better performance tomorrow to move up the leaderboard."
