"Monday's play was an improvement from Sunday, but not what was needed to climb the leaderboard, UC head coach Doug Martin said. "We continue to make unforced errors that we cannot recover from. Tuesday will be our last round of the season. Hopefully, we can build some positive momentum going into the off season."
The third and final round begins Tuesday at 8 a.m. ET. Live scoring will be available at www.golfstat.com.
