JUSTIN EMIL QUOTABLE
"It was a tough day for us. We talk a lot about making our mistakes at worse bogey and today we had lots of double bogies and even some triples. That's not how we play the game. These guys are much better than that. Tomorrow is our chance to get back on track."
NEXT UP
The final round begins tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. Rice will tee off with student-athletes from Grand Canyon, Utah Valley and a group of individuals from holes No. 11-13.
