Wildcats Take Lead into Final Day at Colbert
Sep 22, 2008 | Men's Golf
“In the morning when you stand up on No.1 and the wind is howling in your face, you know what you are up against for the day and I think the guys handled it very well,” said head coach Tim Norris. “I think we are in good shape but we still need to go out and execute. I thought, overall, it was a good, solid team effort. I thought we had a couple good scores this afternoon by Joe Kinney and Ross Geubelle. If we want to be successful this year we need to play well from top to bottom and they really contributed today.”
UMKC is in second place at 26-over 602, thanks to a second round score of 294. The Kangaroos hold a 10 stroke advantage over third place team
