Head Coach Jason Retzlaff Quote:

"We had a lot of fun as we played better today as a team.  Overall, I thought it was the best round this team has played all season.  Grant led us today and was solid in all aspects. It was great seeing Mikey and Sam play some very good golf as well.  Mikey's irons were excellent and Sam's putting was much improved today.  It looks like tomorrow will be a tougher day and a mental challenge with significant rain in the forecast again."

 

The Spartans will tee off for round two on Thursday at 9:50 am Eastern Time.
