JUSTIN EMIL QUOTABLE
"It was a grind out there today. We were not super sharp and the course really exposes missed distances and targets. Raghav (Chugh) and Jay (Kirchdorfer) both battled on their second nine holes and helped the team in a big way. Tomorrow we'll be in a better position to make a move."
NEXT UP
The final round begins at 7 a.m. CT, with the Owls teeing off at 8:05 from hole 10. Rice will tee off with student-athletes from Charlotte and East Carolina.
