JUSTIN EMIL QUOTABLE
"There was definitely a low round out there today. The greens are tough on this course, but the weather provided some great scoring conditions. We led the field in par-five scoring thanks to Reggie (Zhu's) two eagles, and Jaivier (Pande) also had one on 18. We need to clean up the par threes. We'll have a good game plan for tomorrow."
NEXT UP
The final round begins tomorrow at 7:45 a.m. Rice will tee off beginning at 8:30 a.m. from hole No. 1 with student-athletes from Chattanooga and Memphis.
