"We struggled to get started in the first round. I thought our execution of shots was not good enough. We are challenged on and around the greens right now. Colleton River challenges all aspects of your game. If something isn't clicking this course will expose you. Our second round was much improved. All five guys looked better. We just need to continue to try to clean things up. Tomorrow is a new day and we must come ready to play from the opening shot.
