Wildcats Place Fourth in Reno
Oct 07, 2008 | Men's Golf
“It was a tough day for us,” said head coach Tim Norris. “We had a couple of good scores today, but we had to count a couple of high ones the way the scores were going. It was so tightly bunched; we were three shots out of the lead starting the day. I was proud of the guys. The greens really firmed up today, even firmer than yesterday, and sped up a bit. The guys are playing well and we played in three tournaments and lost to four teams. We can keep getting better but this has been a great start to the season and I know the guys are sure excited to get to the next tournament.”
