Gonzaga Head Coach Robert Gray ...
The course was set up pretty tough all week, not allowing any team scores under par. We had sunny conditions today but it was colder with temps around 40 at the beginning. Combined with the ball not rolling out, that made the course play even longer. We didn't play our best today but we were able to post our best round of the week.
Jace didn't have his best game today but fought hard all day just like the other guys.
We have a short turnover to clean things up before we head to a completely different setup at Chambers Bay GC this weekend.
