COACH HORN'S THOUGHTS
"The Warriors battled the wind and the conditions all day today and didn't quite come out on top. We certainly didn't score like we wanted. The good news is we're within striking distance and have an opportunity tomorrow to really show what we're capable of. An outstanding round by Tyler Hurtubise today. We had some other decent scores but overall we've got a lot of cleanup to do for tomorrow."

UP NEXT
The second and final round will be played on Monday with a shotgun start at 9:30 AM. Stay tuned to WSUAthletics.com for a complete recap plus photos of the winning team and medalist.
