Gonzaga Head Coach Robert Gray ...
"Another good day of weather and some more accessible hole locations. Grant got off to a great start by holing his second shot on the par 5, 14th for an Albatross. Solid rounds of 71 from Matt and Charlie.
"Course is punishing to errant shots and we had too many of them, resulting in big numbers. Nice to finish with our best round of the event but we have plenty of work to do to get ready for our next event in two weeks."
