On the team's second-round play Monday:
"Overall today was an improvement on yesterday's performance. We got off to a better start and had it to 6-under but just didn't play well enough coming in to finish off the round. Both Paul (Huber) and Austin (Squires) did a lot of good things today. It's very important to get off to a good start tomorrow and build on what we did today."
