Chris Hartmann, TWU Head Coach
"There's some work to do tomorrow, but the guys still feel they can better their score by a few strokes tomorrow and challenge for that spot. Both guys teams just didn't quite get things rolling today, struggling a little with consistency in several areas of their game, but we look forward to finishing with great final rounds.
"Verity's performance was remarkable – blowing past her personal best, which was so impressive."
