HEAD COACH DANNY BOWEN:
“The course definitely played harder today than it did yesterday. I told the girls after we were done that even though we didn’t get off to as fast of a start as yesterday we played better golf today. We were more consistent and our body language was much better. We can’t get caught up on the leaderboard tomorrow. We need to go out and play the golf course, take what it gives us and play our game. If that’s enough to win as a team and individually we’ll see in the end. Tomorrow is about playing our games. Then we’ll see what happens.”
UP NEXT:
The Aggies look to complete the comeback during tomorrow’s third round of the Aggie Invitational. The action begins tomorrow at 8:30 a.m.
