QUOTEWORTHY:
"We played well in the first round led by Travis with a great round. The second round was a bit of a rollercoaster by all and just too many mistakes to play as well as the first round. With the second round stopped by rain, we need to finish strong and see if we can find a good final round." -- Head coach Scott Schroeder
UP NEXT
The Ospreys will return to the course at 7 a.m. (CT) to play the remaining holes of Rd 2 before moving directly into final round action at historic Shoal Creek Country Club on Tuesday.
