Rhyll Brinsmead said. We were the last groups off #1 this morning, and by the time we made the turn to the ocean holes the wind and rain were extreme. We definitely could have managed this difficult stretch better, but I'm proud of how the team bounced back holes 16-18. We will start on the back nine tomorrow and need to take advantage of this.
